From: US Department of Energy
The Department of Energy (DOE) has issued a Notice of Public Comment in the Federal Register, inviting the public to comment on DOE’s Energy Sector Cybersecurity Framework Implementation Guidance. Comments must be received on or before October 14, 2014.
In February 2014, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) released a Cybersecurity Framework. DOE has collaborated with private sector stakeholders through the Electricity Subsector Coordinating Council (ESCC) and the Oil & Natural Gas Subsector Coordinating Council (ONG SCC) forums for the development of the draft Guidance. The DOE has also been coordinating with other Sector Specific Agency representatives and interested government stakeholders for the development of the draft Guidance and to address cross-sector overlaps. The primary goal of the document is to help energy sector stakeholders develop or align existing cybersecurity risk management programs to meet the objectives of the Cybersecurity Framework. The document will also help energy sector organizations effectively demonstrate and communicate their cybersecurity risk management approach and use of the Framework to both internal and external stakeholders
Electronically submitted comments must use the comment submission form available with the Guidance draft. The Federal Register Notice includes information on how the public may submit comments.
