Abstract: The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Act of 2018 created the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) within the Department of Homeland Security. The act directs CISA to “integrate relevant information, analysis, and vulnerability assessments, regardless of whether the information, analysis, or assessments are provided or produced by the Department, in order to make recommendations, including prioritization, for protective and support measures by the Department, other Federal Government agencies, State, local, tribal, and territorial government agencies and authorities, the private sector, and other entities regarding terrorist and other threats to homeland security.” With the advent of the global pandemic referred to as COVID 19, the agency has extended our operating environment to include this biologic threat to the homeland. As part of the National Pandemic Action Plan for responding to this threat, social distancing and local “Stay at Home” or similar orders have become the normal across the county. The President has left the establishment of these orders to the State, Local, Territorial, and Tribal (SLTT) governments. This had the potential to create a patchwork of exceptions to who was exempted based on the essentiality of their work. To help provide order to this issue, CISA worked with the Sector Specific Agencies described in PPD 41, the White House, the Department, and the SLTT governments to provide guidance on what is considered Essential Critical Infrastructure Workers. Many SLTT governments have adopted our guidance in full and other have adopted it in part. All 50 states, the District of Columbia, and all Territories and Tribal lands have limited movement of non-essential workers to some extent, making this issue truly national. As part of our routine monitoring or our programs, we have heard anecdotal evidence that even though our non-mandatory guidance has been adopted, local Law Enforcement are not fully following this guidance and have restricted entities that are excepted by local rules. CISA has a duty to evaluate the risk of this behavior. The proposed collection will not attempt to rigorously validate or measure the prevalence of these incidents, but represents an important first step in better understanding the issue. This collection is designed to allow affected parties to voluntarily submit relevant evidence of denied Essential Critical Worker movement to CISA. The information will allow the agency to document alleged instances where someone has been denied movement as an Essential Critical Infrastructure Worker.

Emergency Justfication: This collection is designed to allow affected parties to voluntarily submit relevant evidence of denied Essential Critical Worker movement to CISA. The information will allow the agency to document alleged instances where someone has been denied movement as an Essential Critical Infrastructure Worker. The Critical Infrastructure Workers Denied Movement Report is a voluntary form that CISA will post to its public facing website and advertise through our Regional Offices and during our frequent engagements with our stakeholders. CISA will utilize this information as evidence of a need to seek additional information to assess the need to develop a National Standard for Essential Critical Infrastructure Workers, expand our existing voluntary programs for reentry into previously denied areas, or take other appropriate action with our interagency partners. Without this information the Agency is unable to make an informed decision. The Agency will not use information collected through this voluntary feedback collection as the justification for new regulations or policies.
