This legislation mandates the Secretary of Energy to implement a comprehensive program designed to bolster the physical security and cybersecurity of natural gas pipelines, hazardous liquid pipelines, and liquefied natural gas facilities. The program requires consultation with federal agencies, energy sector representatives, and states to ensure the security, resiliency, and survivability of this critical infrastructure. Key components of the program include establishing policies for improved coordination, leading coordinated responses to physical and cyber incidents, and developing advanced cybersecurity applications and technologies for voluntary use . It also involves performing pilot demonstration projects, creating workforce development curricula, and providing technical tools to help the energy sector voluntarily evaluate and enhance its security capabilities, all while ensuring it does not modify the authority of any other federal agency concerning these facilities.
