Pipeline Security Act

This bill puts into federal law that the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is responsible for protecting oil and gas pipelines and pipeline facilities against cyberattacks, terrorism, and other security threats, working with the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency as appropriate. TSA would develop and update security guidelines, issue security directives or regulations it finds necessary, share threat information, rank security risks, and inspect pipelines and owners' security plans. TSA would hold at least one industry day within a year and report to Congress at least every two years. Within 180 days, TSA would create a staffing strategy that includes a plan to expand its cybersecurity expertise, and the Government Accountability Office would review the law within two years.
