Summary
The TSA is asking to keep collecting info for the Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC®) program, which helps keep ports safe by checking workers’ identities and backgrounds. This means workers who need TWIC cards will keep submitting their info, and TSA will continue making sure the process runs smoothly. No big changes or extra costs are expected, just an extension of the current system.

TWIC Biographic/Biometric Collection Continues

The notice refers to OMB control number 1652-0047 and asks OMB to approve an extension of the current collection; no big changes or extra costs are expected.
TWIC Customer Survey Collection Continues
TSA will continue collecting customer satisfaction survey responses as part of the TWIC information collection under OMB control number 1652-0047. The survey collection is being extended alongside the biographic/biometric collection and is part of the same request to OMB.
