                     Subpart D--Identification Cards
 
Sec. 112.49  Temporary identification cards.

    (a) Issuance. When an identification card is required by the port 
director under Sec. 112.41, and the port director determines that the 
application for the identification card cannot be administratively 
processed in a reasonable period of time, any licensed cartman or 
lighterman may upon written request have a temporary identification card 
issued by the port director to his employee if he can show to the 
satisfaction of the port director that a hardship to his business would 
result pending issuance of an identification card.
    (b) Validity and renewal. The temporary identification card shall be 
valid for a period of 60 days. The port director may renew the temporary 
identification card for additional 30-day periods if he feels that the 
circumstances under which the temporary identification card was 
originally issued continue to exist. The temporary identification card 
shall be returned by the holder or licensee to the port director when 
the identification card is issued or the privileges granted thereby are 
withdrawn.
    (c) Withdrawal of temporary card. The temporary identification card 
may be withdrawn at any time if in the judgment of the port director 
continuation of the privileges granted thereby would endanger the 
revenue or if the holder of the temporary identification card refuses or 
neglects to obey any proper order of a Customs officer or any Customs 
order, rule, or regulation.
    (d) Bond. The licensed cartman or lighterman shall as a condition 
precedent to the issuance of a temporary identification card to his 
employee be required to post a bond in a penal sum, the amount to be 
determined by the port director, to guarantee return of the temporary 
identification card by the holder upon its withdrawal or upon issuance 
of a permanent identification card and to cover any loss or damage 
caused to the United States by the holder of the temporary 
identification card. The bond shall be on Customs Form 301 and contain 
the bond conditions set forth in Sec. 113.63 of this chapter

and be in such amount as determined by the port director.
