On December 16, 2024, CISA published a request for comment on the NCIRP Update (89 FR 101614).

The request for comment provided for a 30-day comment period, set to close January 15, 2025. CISA received multiple requests to extend the deadline given the holidays occurring during the public comment period. Therefore, the comment period is now open through February 14, 2025.

This notice is issued under the authority of 6 U.S.C. 652, 659, 660, and 665b.
