Title: Surface Transportation Vulnerability Assessments and Security Plans 
Abstract:

The 9/11 Act requires the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to issue regulations for vulnerability assessments and security planning to be conducted by high-risk surface transportation operations. TSA will propose a new regulation to address the security of higher-risk freight railroads, public transportation agencies, passenger railroads, and over-the-road buses. The proposed rule will consider comments received on the Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) published in December 2016.
