The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is asking for public comments on changes to its rules for tracking and reporting information under certain cybersecurity standards related to supply chain risk, electronic security, and configuration management. These changes affect businesses and institutions that must follow these standards and will require updates to their risk management plans, potentially leading to more paperwork. Comments on the proposed changes are due by April 27, 2021, and interested parties can submit their feedback online or via mail.
Simple Explanation
FERC wants to update some rules to keep important buildings safe from computer hackers, and they're asking people to tell them what they think about these new rules. They want to know if these changes are too much work or cost too much money for the companies that have to follow them.
