SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background and Purpose 

On February 12, 2013, the President 

signed Executive Order (E.O.) 13636 

‘‘Improving Critical Infrastructure 

Cybersecurity.’’ The E.O. provided the 

national approach to protecting critical 

infrastructure cybersecurity and 

directed federal agencies to assess cyber 

risk to critical infrastructure. Pursuant 

to E.O. 13636, the National Institute of 

Standards and Technology (NIST) 

developed a voluntary Preliminary 

Cybersecurity Framework,1 followed by 

the February 12, 2014 publication of a 

Framework for Improving Critical 

Infrastructure Cybersecurity 2

(Cybersecurity Framework). The 

Cybersecurity Framework serves to help 

industry stakeholders reduce their cyber 

risk and vulnerabilities. The Coast 

Guard encourages vessel and facility 

owners and operators to adopt the 

Cybersecurity Framework voluntarily to 

achieve a minimum standard of 

cybersecurity protection. 

Section 7(d) of E.O. 13636 states that 

in developing the Cybersecurity 

Framework, the Director of NIST ‘‘shall 

engage in an open public review and 

comment process’’ and consult with 

stakeholders including owners and 

operators of critical infrastructure.

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 239 / Friday, December 12, 2014 / Notices 73897 

3A Transportation Security Incident is defined in 

33 CFR 101.105 to mean a security incident 

resulting in a significant loss of life, environmental 

damage, transportation system disruption, or 

economic disruption in a particular area. 

Similarly, the Coast Guard will host this 

public meeting to engage the public and 

obtain comments to assist in the drafting 

of procedures to enable operators of 

vessels and facilities regulated pursuant 

to the Maritime Transportation Security 

Act of 2002 (MTSA) to identify and 

address cybersecurity risks that could 

result in a Transportation Security 

Incident (TSI).3 This may include 

standards, guidelines, and best practices 

to protect maritime critical 

infrastructure. The meeting will include 

the following topics: 

(1) Identify: What cyber dependent 

systems perform vital functions that are 

addressed in MTSA requirements, such 

as access control, cargo control, and 

communications? 

(2) Protect: What standards are 

suitable to ensure the integrity of these 

systems? 

(3) Detect: What procedures are 

available to owners and operators to 

detect cyber intrusions that could 

compromise the integrity of vital 

systems or contribute to a TSI? 

(4) Respond: What response and 

notification procedures can minimize 

the consequences of cyber events? 

(5) Recover: What procedures can 

owners and operators take to promote 

rapid maritime transportation system 

recovery after a cyber incident? 

In addition to the topics outlined 

above, the Coast Guard is posting 

several supplemental documents to the 

online docket for this notice. The 

supplemental documents provide 

additional background information that 

may be useful for the public to consider 

in formulating comments. We encourage 

individuals interested in participating 

in the public meeting and/or submitting 

comments to the docket to review the
