Support Cybersecurity bills that have a public-private partnership (no top-down regulatory process); public-private information sharing; liability protections for information sharing; federal R&D support; and appropriate criminal penalties for bad actors. These issues arose in: H.R.1770 - Data Security and Breach Notification Act of 2015 H.R.2205 - Data Security Act of 2015. Legislation to set standards for identifying, reporting, and responding to data breaches, and the resulting exfiltration of sensitive personal and financial data, caused by illegal hacking. Primary industry concern is that this legislation not morph into a prescriptive cybersecurity standardization program. H.R.4651 / S.2604 Digital Security Commission Act of 2016. Legislation that would create a commission to study and make recommendations on digital security matters, particularly in the area of encrypted communications and related security equipment. Our primary concern is that the Commission should not end up advocating specific security technologies or practices and that the unique needs of critical infrastructure entities, like gas utilities, are considered as part of the process. S. 2684 - UAVs for Energy Infrastructure Act. This bill would require the FAA to establish a process by which owners and operators of crucial infrastructure may incorporate the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) into their regulatory compliance, safety, emergency response, and operational activities. Unmanned aerial vehicles are a new technology that will improve the efficiency and effectiveness of our public safety and system reliability efforts. Moreover in exigent circumstances such as natural disasters or security related events, UAVs will allow for faster response, while providing a persistence capacity that will aid personnel in assessing dangerous situations. H.R. 5390 -Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Protection Agency Act of 2016. This legislation would create a separate entity within DHS that handles cybersecurity matters. Proponents claim that this guarantees that cybersecurity responsibility is not watered down within different subsets of DHS. Detractors claim the opposite, that this bill stovepipes cybersecurity activities. AGA is interested in making sure that the DHS security mission remains comprehensive and its interactions with industry remain useful. Confusion about roles and responsibilities at DHS can ultimately impact industry security. The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee is preparing similar draft legislation. Encryption Legislation The Senate Intelligence Committee is in the final stages of drafting encryption legislation. This legislation will likely include procedures allowing law enforcement access to encrypted communications and equipment. Less clear is whether it will mandate specific cybersecurity technologies or practices and how all the above may impact gas utilities. SAFETY Act Legislation An industry coalition (AGA, APPA, EEI, NRECA) are pursuing a slight modification to the SAFETY Act, an existing law that provides liability protection in the aftermath of a successful terrorist attack for companies that employ SAFETY Act approved anti-terrorism technologies, policies and procedures. This modification would expand the law to specifically include cybersecurity equipment, policies, procedures, etc. House Homeland Security is expected to introduce legislation in the coming weeks.

Support Cybersecurity bills that have a public-private partnership (no top-down regulatory process); public-private information sharing; liability protections for information sharing; federal R&D support; and appropriate criminal penalties for bad actors. These issues arose in: H.R.1770 - Data Security and Breach Notification Act of 2015 H.R.2205 - Data Security Act of 2015. Legislation to set standards for identifying, reporting, and responding to data breaches, and the resulting exfiltration of sensitive personal and financial data, caused by illegal hacking. Primary industry concern is that this legislation not morph into a prescriptive cybersecurity standardization program. H.R.4651 / S.2604 Digital Security Commission Act of 2016. Legislation that would create a commission to study and make recommendations on digital security matters, particularly in the area of encrypted communications and related security equipment. Our primary concern is that the Commission should not end up advocating specific security technologies or practices and that the unique needs of critical infrastructure entities, like gas utilities, are considered as part of the process. S. 2684 - UAVs for Energy Infrastructure Act. This bill would require the FAA to establish a process by which owners and operators of crucial infrastructure may incorporate the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) into their regulatory compliance, safety, emergency response, and operational activities. Unmanned aerial vehicles are a new technology that will improve the efficiency and effectiveness of our public safety and system reliability efforts. Moreover in exigent circumstances such as natural disasters or security related events, UAVs will allow for faster response, while providing a persistence capacity that will aid personnel in assessing dangerous situations. H.R. 5390 -Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Protection Agency Act of 2016. This legislation would create a separate entity within DHS that handles cybersecurity matters. Proponents claim that this guarantees that cybersecurity responsibility is not watered down within different subsets of DHS. Detractors claim the opposite, that this bill stovepipes cybersecurity activities. AGA is interested in making sure that the DHS security mission remains comprehensive and its interactions with industry remain useful. Confusion about roles and responsibilities at DHS can ultimately impact industry security. The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee is preparing similar draft legislation. Encryption Legislation The Senate Intelligence Committee is in the final stages of drafting encryption legislation. This legislation will likely include procedures allowing law enforcement access to encrypted communications and equipment. Less clear is whether it will mandate specific cybersecurity technologies or practices and how all the above may impact gas utilities. SAFETY Act Legislation An industry coalition (AGA, APPA, EEI, NRECA) are pursuing a slight modification to the SAFETY Act, an existing law that provides liability protection in the aftermath of a successful terrorist attack for companies that employ SAFETY Act approved anti-terrorism technologies, policies and procedures. This modification would expand the law to specifically include cybersecurity equipment, policies, procedures, etc. House Homeland Security is expected to introduce legislation in the coming weeks.

Support Cybersecurity bills that have a public-private partnership (no top-down regulatory process); public-private information sharing; liability protections for information sharing; federal R&D support; and appropriate criminal penalties for bad actors. These issues arose in: H.R.1770 - Data Security and Breach Notification Act of 2015 H.R.2205 - Data Security Act of 2015. Legislation to set standards for identifying, reporting, and responding to data breaches, and the resulting exfiltration of sensitive personal and financial data, caused by illegal hacking. Primary industry concern is that this legislation not morph into a prescriptive cybersecurity standardization program. H.R.4651 / S.2604 Digital Security Commission Act of 2016. Legislation that would create a commission to study and make recommendations on digital security matters, particularly in the area of encrypted communications and related security equipment. Our primary concern is that the Commission should not end up advocating specific security technologies or practices and that the unique needs of critical infrastructure entities, like gas utilities, are considered as part of the process. S. 2684 - UAVs for Energy Infrastructure Act. This bill would require the FAA to establish a process by which owners and operators of crucial infrastructure may incorporate the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) into their regulatory compliance, safety, emergency response, and operational activities. Unmanned aerial vehicles are a new technology that will improve the efficiency and effectiveness of our public safety and system reliability efforts. Moreover in exigent circumstances such as natural disasters or security related events, UAVs will allow for faster response, while providing a persistence capacity that will aid personnel in assessing dangerous situations. H.R. 5390 -Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Protection Agency Act of 2016. This legislation would create a separate entity within DHS that handles cybersecurity matters. Proponents claim that this guarantees that cybersecurity responsibility is not watered down within different subsets of DHS. Detractors claim the opposite, that this bill stovepipes cybersecurity activities. AGA is interested in making sure that the DHS security mission remains comprehensive and its interactions with industry remain useful. Confusion about roles and responsibilities at DHS can ultimately impact industry security. The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee is preparing similar draft legislation. Encryption Legislation The Senate Intelligence Committee is in the final stages of drafting encryption legislation. This legislation will likely include procedures allowing law enforcement access to encrypted communications and equipment. Less clear is whether it will mandate specific cybersecurity technologies or practices and how all the above may impact gas utilities. SAFETY Act Legislation An industry coalition (AGA, APPA, EEI, NRECA) are pursuing a slight modification to the SAFETY Act, an existing law that provides liability protection in the aftermath of a successful terrorist attack for companies that employ SAFETY Act approved anti-terrorism technologies, policies and procedures. This modification would expand the law to specifically include cybersecurity equipment, policies, procedures, etc. House Homeland Security is expected to introduce legislation in the coming weeks.
