N.Y. Comp. Codes R. & Regs. tit. 21 § 5.16
The commission shall furnish a log for each pier or waterfront terminal which shall remain the property of the commission and be kept in the custody of the security officer or supervisory security officer assigned to the gate who shall be responsible for its safekeeping, or in such other place as may be authorized by the commission. Every security officer or supervisory security officer, upon entering or leaving the pier or terminal, shall enter in such log his signature, license number, time in or time out and such other information as may be required by the commission. All such logs shall be available for inspection by the commission at any time. In lieu of such a log, the commission may, in its discretion, authorize, at any particular pier or waterfront terminal, the use of any mechanical or electrical instrument or device which provides the information required by this section and which shall be deemed the equivalent of a log for the purpose of this section (except that its ownership shall not be in the commission unless such instrument is originally furnished by the commission).
