Correction
In the December 18, 2014 edition of the Federal Register, the Coast
Guard published a notice titled, ``Guidance on Maritime Cybersecurity
Standards'' (79 FR 75574). In providing background information, the
notice contained the following statement: ``Coast Guard regulations
require certain vessel and facility operators to conduct security
assessments, and to develop security plans that address vulnerabilities
identified by the security assessment.'' Mistakenly, the footnote at
the end of that statement, referencing the applicable regulatory
citations, referred to 33 CFR parts 104 (vessels) and 105 (facilities),
but failed to refer to 33 CFR part 106 (outer continental shelf
facilities). To avoid any confusion that may have resulted from the
inadvertent omission of 33 CFR part 106 from the footnote, we wish to
clarify that we are soliciting comments from all parties interested in
maritime cybersecurity standards, including all parties regulated by
the Coast Guard under 33 CFR chapter I, subchapter H.
Authority
This notice is issued under the authority of 5 U.S.C. 552(a).
Dated: December 23, 2014.
Katia Cervoni,
Chief, Office of Regulations and Administrative Law, U.S. Coast Guard.
