In 2008, TSA initiated a process to
amend and supersede the primary Federal guidance for pipeline
security, the 2002 Pipeline Security Information Circular, with
forthcoming Pipeline Security Guidelines. The new document will
include recommendations for the voluntary submission of pipeline
operator security manager contact information to TSA and the
reporting of security incident data to the Transportation Security
Operation Center (TSOC). Security manager contact information will
enable TSA to provide security-related information to the
appropriate personnel and/or the security operations or control
center for natural gas and hazardous liquid pipeline operators.
Incident information will be used for vulnerability identification
and analysis, trend analysis, and for reporting by TSAs Office of
Intelligence.
