DHS/TSA RIN: 1652-AA74 Publication ID: Spring 2025 
Title: Enhancing Surface Cyber Risk Management 
Abstract:

In 2021, in response to an ongoing threat to pipeline systems, TSA issued emergency security directives to owners and operators of TSA-designated critical pipelines that transport hazardous liquids and natural gas. The directives required covered entities to implement a number of urgently needed protections against cyber intrusions. TSA also issued security directives to owners and operators in the freight, passenger, and transit-rail sectors. This rulemaking will codify critical cybersecurity requirements for pipeline and rail modes. Through this rulemaking, TSA will also address certain requirements in the Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007 related to information and operational technology systems. TSA published an advance notice of proposed rulemaking in November 2022, and a notice of proposed rulemaking in November 2024.
