Published 30 Day Federal Register Notice (FRN)

jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 55 / Friday, March 20, 2020 / Notices
The Coast Guard acknowledges the
comments and notes that this NVIC is
not a rule. As explained in detail earlier
in this notice, the Coast Guard is also
not using its regulatory authority to
issue this NVIC or control how
companies execute their cyber risk
management decisions. To the contrary,
this NVIC constitutes advisory guidance
meant to assist facility owners and
operators in complying with existing
MTSA regulations. The NVIC
emphasizes that a facility is already
obligated by existing MTSA regulations
to assess and address vulnerabilities in
computer systems and networks, but it
has discretion to determine how it will
comply with the regulations and
address its own cyber security risks.
Based on these comments, we have
revised the text of the NVIC and its
Enclosure (1) to clarify the advisory
nature of the NVIC.
B. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce
asked us to keep the NVIC in the draft
form and to have an ongoing dialog
facilitating input from industry
stakeholders. The Chamber suggested
that the Coast Guard present the NVIC
as a voluntary risk management tool,
which might become a beacon around
which cyber security efforts could
orient.
The Coast Guard acknowledges this
comment and agrees that the NVIC is a
voluntary risk management tool, in that
it informs owners and operators about
their existing regulatory obligations, and
provides suggestions for fulfilling those
obligations. However, the Coast Guard
believes that finalizing the NVIC will
provide owners and operators with
needed guidance on how to comply
with the MTSA regulations relating to
computer and network security.
Dialogue about cyber risk management
will continue to occur in a variety of
forms, and the NVIC provides contact
information should the regulated public
wish to contact the Coast Guard with
questions or concerns.
Based on this comment, we did not
make any revisions to the final NVIC.
C. The draft NVIC stated the Coast
Guard had the regulatory authority to
instruct MTSA-regulated facilities to
analyze computer systems and networks
for potential vulnerabilities within their
required FSA and, if necessary, address
those vulnerabilities in their FSP.
In response to that statement, three
commenters suggested the Coast Guard
state that the facilities, to comply with
MTSA, could limit their cyber security
measures to those information
technology systems and networks that
have a direct maritime nexus. One of the
commenters also asked the Coast Guard
to develop clear guidelines on cyber

TSIs and connections to MTSA
facilities.
The Coast Guard is vested with
authority to verify that MTSA-regulated
facilities comply with MTSA
regulations, including the ones relating
to computer systems and networks
regardless of whether that system or
network has a direct maritime nexus. In
regards to a TSI and connections to
MTSA facilities, the Coast Guard notes
that this NVIC was not intended to
discuss TSIs. However, we note that a
TSI, as defined in 33 CFR 101.105, is
not limited to incidents with a specific
maritime cause. A TSI may result from
a physical or cyber security incident
which originates from outside of the
maritime environment. For example,
plausible TSIs caused by cyber threats
could include: Deliberate disabling of a
facility’s fire detection equipment,
security cameras, or security locks; a
hack or ransomware that leaves such
systems inaccessible; damage to
computer-controlled ventilation or
temperature control features at chemical
facilities; or tampering with or disabling
the automated supply chain in a way
that causes significant economic
disruption.
For the reasons stated, we did not
make any changes to the text of the final
NVIC.
D. The draft NVIC’s Enclosure (1)
recommended that owners and
operators address cyber security
vulnerabilities in their FSPs.
In response to that recommendation,
some commenters expressed general
concerns about regulating fast-paced
cyber security demands of the
commercial industry, the NVIC’s focus
on cyber vulnerabilities rather than
cyber risk management, and provided a
suggestion for the government to protect
private companies from cyber-attacks.
These comments are general in nature
and do not raise any specific issues
within the NVIC. The Coast Guard
acknowledges these comments and will
consider them as part of the general ongoing dialog on how to improve cyber
security at maritime facilities. We did
not make any changes to the final NVIC
based on these comments.
The Coast Guard appreciates all the
comments received. We will continue to
study this issue in light of the comments
received before issuing other notices or
policy letters on this matter.
Dated: February 26, 2020.
Karl L. Schultz,
Admiral, U.S. Coast Guard, Commandant.

Changes in Flood Hazard
Determinations
Federal Emergency
Management Agency, DHS.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:

This notice lists communities
where the addition or modification of
Base Flood Elevations (BFEs), base flood
depths, Special Flood Hazard Area
(SFHA) boundaries or zone
designations, or the regulatory floodway
(hereinafter referred to as flood hazard
determinations), as shown on the Flood
Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and
where applicable, in the supporting
Flood Insurance Study (FIS) reports,
prepared by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) for each
community, is appropriate because of
new scientific or technical data. The
FIRM, and where applicable, portions of
the FIS report, have been revised to
reflect these flood hazard
determinations through issuance of a
Letter of Map Revision (LOMR), in
accordance with Federal Regulations.
The LOMR will be used by insurance
agents and others to calculate
appropriate flood insurance premium
rates for new buildings and the contents
of those buildings. For rating purposes,
the currently effective community
number is shown in the table below and
must be used for all new policies and
renewals.

SUMMARY:

These flood hazard
determinations will be finalized on the

DATES:

dates listed in the table below and
revise the FIRM panels and FIS report
in effect prior to this determination for
the listed communities.
From the date of the second
publication of notification of these
changes in a newspaper of local
circulation, any person has 90 days in
which to request through the
community that the Deputy Associate
Administrator for Insurance and
Mitigation reconsider the changes. The
flood hazard determination information
may be changed during the 90-day
period.
ADDRESSES: The affected communities
are listed in the table below. Revised
flood hazard information for each
community is available for inspection at
both the online location and the
respective community map repository
address listed in the table below.
Additionally, the current effective FIRM
and FIS report for each community are
accessible online through the FEMA
Map Service Center at https://
msc.fema.gov for comparison.
Submit comments and/or appeals to
the Chief Executive Officer of the
community as listed in the table below.

Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering Services
Branch, Federal Insurance and
Mitigation Administration, FEMA, 400

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
specific flood hazard determinations are
not described for each community in
this notice. However, the online
location and local community map
repository address where the flood
hazard determination information is
available for inspection is provided.
Any request for reconsideration of
flood hazard determinations must be
