## Summary

**Makes the Transportation Security Administration the lead agency to secure pipelines against cyberattacks, terrorism, and other security threats.** It would require TSA to coordinate with the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and to set guidelines, inspection rules, workforce plans, and reporting for pipeline security. - Pipeline owners and operators would face new TSA-issued guidelines, possible security directives or regulations, and TSA assessments or inspections that can identify required improvements. - Federal agencies and the TSA workforce would see expanded roles and planning; TSA must develop a personnel strategy within 180 days that assesses needed cybersecurity expertise and resources. - Industry and Congress would get structured engagement and oversight: at least one industry day within one year, biennial reports to specified congressional committees, and a Government Accountability Office review within two years.
