NHTSA Sends Cybersecurity Comment Notice to OMB

Yesterday the OMB’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) announced that it had received a copy of “Request for Comments on Cybersecurity Best Practices for the Safety of Modern Vehicles” for review from the DOT’s National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA). This pre-rulemaking activity was not published in the 2020 Spring Unified Agenda, so there are no publicly available details on this document.

It is interesting to note that the title does not appear to restrict the request for comments to just automated driving systems, but we will have to wait for NHTSA to publish the document in the Federal Register to be sure. I do not expect OIRA to approve this document before January 21st, 2021; nothing to do specifically with the change in administrations, just a normal turnaround time at OIRA.
