Even prior to the Supreme Court\u2019s decision to overturn Chevron deference, this approach caused the administration problems.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Last year the Environmental Protection Agency <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scmagazine.com\/news\/epa-memo-pushes-states-to-include-cybersecurity-in-water-safety-reviews\">attempted<\/a> to reinterpret a 50-year-old law, the Safe Drinking Water Act, to require water utilities to consider cybersecurity during their regular audits of water systems. That prompted legal challenges from states and business groups, who succeeded in convincing a federal court to temporarily block the new rule.<\/p>\n<p>Relying on the EPA \u2014 an agency whose primary remit is environmental issues \u2014 to address cybersecurity issues represents the foremost example of the Biden administration\u2019s creative lawyering to implement more stringent cybersecurity rules. Courts\u2019 skepticism of the move prompted theEPA <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/epa-calls-off-cyber-regulations-for-water-sector\/#:~:text=In%20a%20major%20blow%20to,water%20utilities%20through%20sanitary%20surveys.\">to eventually withdraw<\/a> the proposal, and last week\u2019s ruling only increases the obstacles facing White House lawyers looking to find ways to raise the bar on cybersecurity. <\/p>\n<p>Administration officials are now evaluating how to proceed, with White House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre saying last week that the \u201cadministration is doing everything we can to continue to deploy the extraordinary expertise of the federal workers to keep Americans safe and ensure our communities thrive and prosper.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Geiger believes other Biden-era cyber regulations could also be under threat in the wake of the Supreme Court\u2019s ruling and that opponents of more stringent rules will be emboldened by the ruling to file lawsuits testing the limits of agencies\u2019 regulatory authorities. <\/p>\n<p>For example, while Congress passed new cyber incident reporting rules for critical infrastructure, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency was given responsibility for <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/cisa-circia-cyber-incident-reporting\/\">a laborious rulemaking process to scope out and define the law<\/a> and fill in numerous interpretative gaps, such as what constitutes a \u201ccovered incident\u201d that <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/cisa-cyber-incident-reporting-hearing\/\">companies will have to report to the government<\/a>. <\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The agency ultimately opted to use the same language that is used for \u201csignificant incidents,\u201d which is defined in the law. A future court could determine that Congress intended for CISA to define a smaller subset of incidents covered under the law. On the other hand, a more prescriptive definition of a covered incident might open the agency to legal challenges for interpreting the law beyond what Congress specified.<\/p>\n<p>Geiger said the agency may need to revise the pending regulation because there are parts of <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/tag\/circia\/\">CIRCIA<\/a> \u201cwhere CISA is clearly interpreting ambiguous and unclear or open-ended parts of the statute.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Other cybersecurity actions by federal agencies may also come under attack in the courts. When the Securities and Exchange Commission last year cited the 1934 Securities Exchange Act in <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/sec-sues-solarwinds-and-ciso-for-fraud\/\">an enforcement action against SolarWinds and its CISO<\/a> for alleged deficiencies in cybersecurity controls that left the company vulnerable to being hacked by Russian intelligence, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce filed a friend of the court brief arguing that the agency had overstepped its legal authority.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCongress has never granted the SEC authority to regulate other aspects of a public company\u2019s larger internal-control framework,\u201d the chamber<a href=\"https:\/\/www.uschamber.com\/assets\/documents\/SolarWinds-Amicus.pdf\"> wrote<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The ruling could also impact a yearslong effort by the Federal Trade Commission to finalize new regulations on commercial surveillance and data security. Duane Pozza, a partner and co-chair of the privacy, cyber and data governance practice at the law firm Wiley Rein, said much of that process relies on the FTC\u2019s existing statutory authority to regulate unfair or deceptive practices.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The FTC has historically interpreted that authority to include the imposition of \u201creasonable\u201d cyber and data security requirements, but Pozza said \u201cthat is not something that derives directly from a statute.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think to the extent that [the agency] relies on the need to be given deference in trying to do a rule around privacy and data security, I think it\u2019s really going to be an uphill battle,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p><\/body> <\/p>\n<footer class=\"single-article__footer\" readability=\"4\">\n<div class=\"author-card\" readability=\"13\">\n<div class=\"author-card__avatar\">\n<figure class=\"author-card__image-wrap\"> <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"author-card__image\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ddi.mohflo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/cybersecurity-regulations-face-uphill-battle-after-chevron-ruling-1.jpg?w=640&ssl=1\" alt=\"Derek B.
