Yesterday there were 69 bills introduced in the House and
Senate. Of those only two may be of specific interest to readers of this blog:
HR 1804
To protect the public, communities across America, and the environment by
increasing the safety of crude oil transportation by railroad, and for other
purposes. Rep. McDermott, Jim [D-WA-7]
S 961 A
bill to protect information relating to consumers, to require notice of
security breaches, and for other purposes. Sen.
Carper, Thomas R. [D-DE]
We see a continuing interest in crude oil train regulations
by some members of Congress; HR 1804 being just the latest. I don’t think that
we will see any real movement on this issue until bills start being drafted by
Repubicans. As always, a serious derailment in an urban area or one that
otherwise results is significant loss of life or really gross destruction will
completely change the legislative picture.
S 961 appears to be just a breach notification bill. If there are no
specific mentions of industrial control system related issues, this will be the
last time that this bill is mentioned.
