New program would boost security for pipelines and liquefied natural gas facilities.
This bill would create a new program within the Department of Energy to make natural gas and hazardous liquid pipelines, and liquefied natural gas facilities, more secure. It would improve how federal agencies, states, and energy companies work together to protect these vital energy sources from physical and cyber attacks. This aims to make our energy supply safer and more reliable for everyone.
Today, there is no specific program requiring the Department of Energy to lead a comprehensive effort to secure pipelines and liquefied natural gas facilities. After this bill, the Department of Energy would be required to create a program to improve physical and cybersecurity for these facilities, including coordinating responses to incidents and developing voluntary security tools and training.
