The Department of Transportation is requesting an extension without change of a previously approved information collection. Under Public Law 113-283, section 2521 Federal Information Security Modernization Act of 2014, each agency of the Federal Government must provide security for the information and information systems that support the operations and assets of the agency, including those provided or managed by another agency, contractor, or other source. This is a mandatory requirement. Small businesses will be affected in the same way as large businesses to comply with statutes and other Federal requirements which require security of information technology, information and information systems.
DOT provided a 60-day comment period for the public to respond to the proposed rule and submit comments. The public comment period closed on February 7, 2022. DOT received no public comments on the proposed rule and no public comments were received on any of the information collection requirements in the rule. The final rule is estimated to be published in the month of September 2022.
