Abstract: TSA plans to request critical facility and annual product through-put information from owners and operators of the nations largest pipeline systems in order to comply with the requirements set forth in Section 1557 (b) of the Implementing the Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007, Pub.L. 110-53 (2007) (9/11 Act). Pipeline owners and operators will be able to transmit the information via electronic mail. The information will be protected in accordance with applicable information protection laws and regulations.

Emergency Justfication: On May 8, 2021, a pipeline company announced that it had halted its pipeline operations due to a ransomware attack. This attack received national attention as it temporarily disrupted critical supplies of gasoline and other refined petroleum products throughout the East Coast. Such attacks pose significant threats to the country’s infrastructure and economic well-being. TSA is revising the collection to address the ongoing cybersecurity threat to pipeline systems and associated infrastructure.
