The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency will hold sector-by-sector town halls in the coming weeks to get feedback on a stalled regulation requiring critical infrastructure owners and operators to report when they suffer major cyberattacks.<\/p>\n

The meeting dates, set to be published in the Federal Register Friday, would \u201callow external stakeholders a limited additional opportunity to provide input on refining the scope and burden\u201d of a proposed rule that CISA is advancing as part of the Cyber Incident Reporting for Critical Infrastructure Act (CIRCIA) that Congress enacted in 2022.<\/p>\n

That law requires critical infrastructure owners and operators to notify CISA within 72 hours when they are hit with a significant cyberattack and within 24 hours when they make a ransomware payment.<\/p>\n

But defining what entities\u00a0 the law would specifically cover and how has been a point of contention. The Trump administration moved a deadline to complete the rule last year, saying it would delay finalizing the rule until May.<\/p>\n

Among the specific topics CISA wants comment on during the virtual town halls are proposed sector-based criteria for whom the regulations apply to; how to handle small businesses; how to consider chemical plants in light of a chemical plant security law lapsing; the list of example incidents that would meet the law\u2019s reporting requirements; and how to reduce conflicts with existing regulations.<\/p>\n

After the sector-by-sector meetings, CISA would hold general sessions on March 31 and April 2.<\/p>\n

One industry source, granted anonymity to speak candidly, said they weren\u2019t aware the additional sessions were coming until Thursday\u2019s Federal Register notice and it \u201cwould have been nice\u201d to know it was coming.<\/p>\n

They also told CyberScoop they weren\u2019t sure the town halls were what CIRCIA needed right now.<\/p>\n

\u201cIndustry has already been very vocal about what we think needs to be addressed in the final rule,\u201d the source said….<\/p>\n
