Spring 2020 Unified Agenda Published – DHS


Yesterday the week the OMB’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) published the Spring 2020 Unified Agenda. For the first time there has been a significant change in the listing of active DHS rulemakings that I cover here on this blog.

Current Agenda


The table below shows the DHS rulemakings that I am following in the Current Unified Agenda. All three entries are returning items from the Fall 2019 version.

USCG
Prerule Stage
Identifying Barriers to Autonomous Vessels
TSA
Proposed Rule Stage
Vetting of Certain Surface Transportation Employees
TSA
Final Rule Stage
Protection of Sensitive Security Information

The two TSA rules date back to 2007. Two rulemakings moved to the Long Term Agenda (see below) and two CG and one TSA rulemakings were removed because the final rule was published (here, here and here).

Long Term Agenda


The table below shows the rulemakings that I am following in the Long-Term Actions section of the Unified Agenda for DHS.

OS
Homeland Security Acquisition Regulation: Safeguarding of Controlled Unclassified Sensitive Information (HSAR Case 2015-001)
OS
Homeland Security Acquisition Regulation: Information Technology Security Awareness Training (HSAR Case 2015-002)
TSA
Surface Transportation Vulnerability Assessments and Security Plans
CISA
Ammonium Nitrate Security Program
CISA
Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS)
CISA
Updates to Protected Critical Infrastructure Information (PCII) Program

The two Office of the Secretary (OS) rulemakings were moved here from the Active Agenda on the Fall 2019 Unified Agenda. The other four items continue from the Long Term Actions list on the Fall 2019 Unified Agenda.

Commentary


My biannual mini rant: All expected action dates expressed in the Unified Agenda are so aspirational as to be almost fictional.
