Supplementary Information

On February 13, 2026, CISA announced the scheduling of seven town hall meetings in March through April 2026 to allow external stakeholders a limited additional opportunity to provide input on refining the scope and burden of the CIRCIA Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM). See 91 FR 6794 (Feb. 13, 2026) and 89 FR 23644 (Apr. 4, 2024). The February 2026 notice provided background on the CIRCIA NPRM, specific topics of interest, and town hall meeting procedures.
