OMB Approves CG Marine Cybersecurity NPRM

Yesterday, the OMB’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) announced that it had approved a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) from the Coast Guard on “Cybersecurity in the Marine Transportation System”. The NPRM was submitted to the OIRA on November 13th, 2023.

According to the Fall 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.”

We will probably see this rule published in the Federal Register next week.
