SUMMARY:

Background Information on the RoC
This notice is in accordance with the
Public Health Service Act Section
301(b)(4). The Report on Carcinogens
(RoC) is a Congressionally mandated
document that identifies and discusses
agents, substances, mixtures, or
exposure circumstances (collectively
referred to as ‘‘substances’’) that may
pose a hazard to human health because
of their carcinogenicity. Substances are
listed in the report as either known or
reasonably anticipated to be human
carcinogens. The listing of a substance
in the RoC indicates a potential hazard;
it does not establish the exposure
conditions that pose a cancer hazard to
individuals in their daily lives. For each
listed substance, the RoC provides
information from cancer studies that
support the listing, as well as
information about potential sources of
exposure and current federal regulations
to limit exposures. Each edition of the
RoC is cumulative, that is, it lists newly
reviewed substances in addition to
substances listed in the previous
edition. Information about the RoC is
available on the RoC website (http://
ntp.niehs.nih.gov/go/roc) or by
contacting Dr. Lunn (see ADDRESSES
above).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Comments Invited
In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501
et seq.), an agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a valid OMB control
number. The ICR documentation will be
available at http://www.reginfo.gov
upon its submission to OMB. Therefore,
in preparation for OMB review and
approval of the following information
collection, TSA is soliciting comments
to—
(1) Evaluate whether the proposed
information requirement is necessary for
the proper performance of the functions
of the agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
(4) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including using
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.

Cybersecurity Measures for Surface
Modes. Under the Aviation and
Transportation Security Act 1 and
delegated authority from the Secretary
of Homeland Security, TSA has broad
responsibility and authority for
‘‘security in all modes of transportation
. . . including security responsibilities
. . . over modes of transportation that
are exercised by the Department of

Transportation.’’ 2 TSA is specifically
empowered to assess threats to
transportation; 3 develop policies,
strategies, and plans for dealing with
threats to transportation; 4 oversee the
implementation and adequacy of
security measures at transportation
facilities; 5 and carry out other
appropriate duties relating to
transportation security.6
On November 30, 2021, OMB
approved TSA’s request for an
emergency approval of this information
collection that covers both mandatory
reporting and voluntary reporting of
information. The OMB approval
allowed for the institution of mandatory
reporting requirements and collection of
information voluntarily submitted. See
ICR Reference Number: 202111–1652–
003. TSA is now seeking renewal of this
information collection for the maximum
three-year approval period.
The request for a new collection was
necessary as a result of actions TSA took
to address the ongoing and escalating
cybersecurity threat to surface
transportation and associated
infrastructure. On December 2, 2021,
TSA issued Security Directive (SD)
1580–2021–01 or SD1582–2021–02
mandating TSA-specified owner/
operators of ‘‘higher risk’’ railroads and

rail transit systems, respectively, to
implement an array of cybersecurity
measures to prevent disruption and
degradation to their infrastructure.7 The
scope of these SDs align with the
railroads and rail transit systems
required to report significant security
incidents to TSA under 49 CFR
1570.203.
On that same date, TSA also issued an
‘‘information circular’’ (IC), which
contains non-binding recommendations
with the same measures for railroad
owner/operators, public transportation
agencies, rail transit system owner/
operators, and certain over-the-road bus
owner/operators not specifically
covered under SDs 1580–2021–01 or
1582–2021–02. The requirements in the
SDs and the recommendations in the IC
allow TSA to execute its security
responsibilities within the surface
transportation industry, through
awareness of potential security
incidents and suspicious activities. The
SDs require, and the IC recommends,
the following security measures:
1. Designate a Cybersecurity
Coordinator who is available to TSA 24/
7 to coordinate cybersecurity practices
and address any incidents that arise;
2. Report cybersecurity incidents to
the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure
Security Agency (CISA);

72989

3. Develop a cybersecurity incident
response plan; and
4. Complete a cybersecurity
vulnerability assessment to address
cybersecurity gaps using the form
provided by TSA.
TSA, in conjunction with federal
partners such as CISA, will use the
reports of cybersecurity incidents to
evaluate and respond to imminent and
evolving cybersecurity incidents and
threats as they occur, and as a basis for
creating new cybersecurity policy
moving forward. This monitoring will
allow TSA and federal partners to take
action to contain threats, take mitigating
action, and issue timely warnings to
similarly-situated entities against
further spread of the threat. TSA and its
federal partners will also use the
information to inform timely
modifications to cybersecurity
requirements to improve transportation
security and national economic security.
TSA will use the collection of
information to ensure compliance with
TSA’s cybersecurity measures required
by the SDs and the recommendations
under the IC.
Table 1 provides more detail on the
measures included in the SDs and IC.

Security measure
Owner/Operators are required or recommended, as applicable, to appoint a U.S. Citizen Cybersecurity Primary
and Alternate Coordinator who must or should, as applicable, submit contact information. The Cybersecurity
Coordinator serves as the primary contact for cyber-related intelligence information and cybersecurity-related
activities and communications with TSA and CISA; must/should be accessible to TSA and CISA 24 hours a
day, seven days a week; must/should coordinate cyber and related security practices and procedures internally; and must/should work with appropriate law enforcement and emergency response agencies.
Owner/Operators Cybersecurity Coordinators are required or recommended, as applicable, to report actual and
potential cybersecurity incidents to CISA within 24 hours of identification of a cybersecurity incident. The information provided to CISA pursuant to the SD is shared with TSA and may also be shared with the National Response Center and other agencies as appropriate. Conversely, information provided to TSA pursuant to this directive is shared with CISA and may also be shared with the National Response Center and other agencies as
appropriate. Cybersecurity incident reports are submitted using the CISA Reporting System form at: https://uscert.cisa.gov/forms/report. Incident reports can also be reported by calling (888) 282–0870. CISA has an approved information collection for cybersecurity incident reporting. See OMB control number 1670–0037.
Owner/Operators are required or recommended, as applicable, to develop and adopt a Cybersecurity Incident
Response Plan to reduce the risk of operational disruption should their Information Technology and/or Operational Technology systems be affected by a cybersecurity incident. Owner/operators must provide or are recommended to provide, as applicable, evidence of compliance to TSA upon request.

2 See 49 U.S.C. 114(d). The TSA Administrator’s
current authorities under the Aviation and
Transportation Security Act have been delegated to
him by the Secretary of Homeland Security. Section
403(2) of the Homeland Security Act (HSA) of 2002,
Public Law 107–296 (116 Stat. 2135, Nov. 25, 2002),
transferred all functions of TSA, including those of
the Secretary of Transportation and the Under
Secretary of Transportation of Security related to
TSA, to the Secretary of Homeland Security.

Cybersecurity Vulnerability
Assessment.

Security measure
Owner/Operators are required or recommended, as applicable, to assess their current cybersecurity posture consistent with the functions and categories found in the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Guidance Framework. The assessment and identification of cybersecurity gaps must or should, as applicable, be completed using a using a form provided by TSA. As part of this assessment, the owners and operators must/may identify remediation measures to address the vulnerabilities and cybersecurity gaps identified
during the assessment and a plan for implementing the identified measures if necessary, and report the results
to TSA.
TSA will use the results of the assessments to make a global assessment of the cyber risk posture of the industry and possibly impose additional security measures as appropriate or necessary. TSA may also use the information, with company-specific data redacted, for TSA’s intelligence-derived reports. TSA and CISA may also
use information submitted for vulnerability identification, trend analysis, or to generate anonymized indicators of
compromise or other cybersecurity products to prevent other cybersecurity incidents. All reported information
will be protected in a manner appropriate for the sensitivity and criticality of the information.
