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.

Due to the lapse in the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) appropriations from February 14, 2026, to April 30, 2026, CISA did not hold the previously announced town hall meetings. This notice announces a revised town hall schedule as listed in the DATES section above.

All other information provided in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section of the February 13, 2026, notice, such as the background, specific topics of interest, and town hall meeting procedures remain unchanged. 91 FR 6794 (Feb. 13, 2026).
