There were 25 bills introduced in Congress yesterday and two
of them may be of specific interest to readers of this blog:
HR 4298 Latest Title: To amend the
Federal Power Act to protect the bulk-power system and electric infrastructure
critical to the defense of the United States against cybersecurity, physical,
and other threats and vulnerabilities. Sponsor: Rep
Waxman, Henry A. (D,CA)
S 2158 Latest
Title: A bill to amend the Federal Power Act to protect the bulk-power
system and electric infrastructure critical to the defense of the United States
against cybersecurity and physical and other threats and vulnerabilities. Sponsor: Sen
Markey, Edward J. (D,MA)
I suspect that these twin bills (known in Washington as ‘companion
bills’) are a considered response to a report
authored last year by Rep. Waxman and then Rep. Markey on the security of the
electric power grid.
