Sweet.....also read this in the comments.....The way I understand the new requirements is that for an orginal credential you are still required to apply and pay for the TWIC so the TSA can share the photo and fingerprints with the USCG.
For renewals - not having a TWIC may delay your credential being issued, and you will have to sign an agreement stating you understand that. Ref: CG-543 Policy Letter 111-15 dated Dec 19 2011.
