Yesterday with the Senate in Washington and the House
meeting in pro forma session there were 33 bills introduced. Two of those bills
may receive future coverage in this blog:
HR
4987 To provide first responders with planning, training, and equipment
capabilities for crude oil-by-rail and ethanol-by-rail derailment and incident
response, and for other purposes. Rep. Herrera Beutler, Jaime [R-WA-3]
S
2775 A bill to improve the cyber workforce of the United States, and for
other purposes. Sen. Wicker, Roger F. [R-MS]
Herrera-Beutler is an outspoken critic of oil trains,
especially ones that traverse her district. It will be interesting to see if
this bill drifts over into being designed to being an impediment to oil train
formation or whether it remains a well-considered emergency response measure.
As always with cyber related bills I will be watching S 2775
for language and definitions to see if this bill specifically addresses control
system security training.
