Abstract: Under the Aviation and Transportation Security Act (ATSA)and delegated authority from the Secretary of Homeland Security, TSA is tasked with developing policies, strategies, and plans for dealing with transportation security. TSA carries out this responsibility in the pipeline mode by assessing current industry security practices by way of its Pipeline Corporate Security Review (PCSR) program.

Emergency Justfication: Due to the ongoing cybersecurity threat to pipeline systems and associated infrastructure, TSA issued Security Directive (SD) Pipeline 2021-01 in coordination with the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) under TSA’s authority in 49 U.S.C. §114(l)(2) . TSA has statutory authority to immediately issue security directives if the Administrator of TSA determines that actions are needed to protect transportation security. See 49 U.S.C. 114(l)(2). To protect against the ongoing cybersecurity threat, TSA is prepared to use its authority to issue additional requirements through an SD, such as mandating that TSA-specified Owners/Operators of gas and liquid pipelines implement an array of cybersecurity measures to prevent disruption and degradation to their infrastructure. TSA is seeking emergency approval to revise the collection due to the need to impose additional emergency requirements on Pipeline Owner/Operators through this SD.
