Canceled Card List FAQ
How can I access the current CCL file?
The CCL is available for download via our Universal Enrollment Service (UES) web site, https://universalenroll.dhs.gov/. Select the “Canceled Card List” from the bottom of the page.
What is the CCL?
The Canceled Card List (CCL) is a public file that contains a list of cards canceled by the Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) Program Management Office (PMO). TWIC credentials that have been lost, stolen or revoked from use for either security or administrative purposes are added to the CCL. The CCL is a text file that can be imported into a database (e.g. Microsoft Excel) for easy searching. The CCL was formally known as the TWIC “hotlist” but the name was changed to more accurately reflect the purpose of this list.
How is the CCL organized?
The CCL has for each row in the text file two entries; a unique TWIC card identifier called the Federal Agency Smart Credential Number (FASC-N) and the date this TWIC card was canceled by the TWIC PMO; the date is organized as DAY-MONTH-YEAR (e.g. 20AUG2012).
Why is there a CCL?
The CCL exists to quickly alert relying parties using the TWIC card that the card is no longer valid as an identity credential. Should the FASC-N of a TWIC card match an entry in the CCL the relying party shall not honor the TWIC card for any purpose.
Where is the CCL intended to be used?
The CCL is intended for use by a Physical Access Control System (PACS) to suspend or revoke any access privileges linked to the TWIC card. The CCL may be used directly by a TWIC reader in some PACS implementations.
Who should access the CCL?
Anyone that wishes to ensure a TWIC card is still considered active by the TWIC PMO. The CCL is encouraged to be used by any entity granting privileges to a TWIC card.
When should the CCL be accessed?
The CCL should be accessed regularly, but no more frequently than once per day based on the frequency of update of this list.
