Review – OMB Approves New CG Cybersecurity ICR

Yesterday the OMB’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) announced that it had approved a new information collection request from the DHS’ Coast Guard on “Cybersecurity Plans”. This ICR supports the requirements of the final rule on “Cybersecurity in the Marine Transportation System” that was published on January 17^th, 2025. The table below shows the approved burden estimate for that ICR.

The final rule had an effective date of July 16^th, 2025. With the approval of this ICR, the administrative requirements allowing for the collection of the security plan information have been met.
