Coast Guard Sends Cybersecurity NPRM to OMB

Yesterday, the OMB’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) announced that it had received a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) from the Coast Guard on “Cybersecurity in the Marine Transportation System”. According to the Spring 2023 Unified Agenda entry for this rulemaking:

“The Coast Guard proposes to update its maritime security regulations by adding cybersecurity requirements to existing Maritime Security regulations in 33 CFR part 101 et seq.  This proposed rulemaking is part of an ongoing effort to address emerging cybersecurity risks and threats to maritime security by including additional security requirements to safeguard the marine transportation system.”

It will be interesting to see how closely the requirements of this proposed rule track with the “Maritime Cybersecurity Assessment and Annex Guide (MCAAG)” guidance issued by the Coast Guard in January.
