operators to swiftly report major cyber incidents to the federal government, according to a recent regulatory notice.<\/p>\n<p>Under the Cyber Incident Reporting for Critical Infrastructure Act (CIRCIA) of 2022, CISA was supposed to produce a final rule enacting the law by October of this year. But last week, the Office of Management and Budget\u2019s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reginfo.gov\/public\/do\/eAgendaViewRule?pubId=202504&amp;RIN=1670-AA04\">published an update<\/a> that moved the final rule\u2019s arrival to May 2026.<\/p>\n<p>A CISA official told CyberScoop that the move would give the agency time to consider streamlining and reducing the burden on industry of a previously proposed version of the rule, citing public comments in response to that version, as well as harmonizing the law with other agencies\u2019 cyber regulations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe received a significant number of public comments on the proposed rule, many of which emphasized the need to reduce the scope and burden, improve harmonization of CIRCIA with other federal cyber incident reporting requirements, and ensure clarity,\u201d said Marci McCarthy, director of public affairs at CISA. \u201cStakeholder input is extremely important as we work to draft a rule that improves our collective security. CISA remains committed to implementing CIRCIA to maximize impact while minimizing unnecessary burden to entities in critical infrastructure sectors.\u201d<\/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>McCarthy said CISA would take the time prior to May to \u201cexamine options within the rulemaking process to address Congressional intent and streamline CIRCIA\u2019s requirements.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A top lawmaker and leading industry group also told CyberScoop the delay could help make those kinds of changes.<\/p>\n<p>House Homeland Security Chairman Andrew Garbarino, R-N.Y., said the Trump administration assured him that it would prioritize soliciting additional feedback from groups that would be affected by the regulations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI support the administration\u2019s decision to extend the deadline for CIRCIA\u2019s final rule as long as this additional time is used to properly capture private-sector feedback on the proposed rule\u2019s reporting requirements and ensure the final rule fulfills congressional intent for the law,\u201d he said. \u201cI share the concern of many industry stakeholders that CIRCIA should not place duplicative or overly broad requirements on critical infrastructure owners and operators. Doing so could unnecessarily burden America\u2019s cyber professionals as they work to defend our networks from heightened threats.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The 2022 law will require critical infrastructure owners and operators to report to CISA within 72 hours if they suffer a major cyberattack, and to report within 24 hours if they pay a ransomware demand. It was inspired by a spate of major cyberattacks, such as the 2021 Colonial Pipeline hack.<\/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>But CISA\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/cisa-cyber-reporting-circia-2024\/\">proposed rule<\/a> \u2014 and how it interpreted the scope of whom the law would apply to or what kind of incidents would constitute reporting to CISA \u2014 had drawn <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/cisa-circia-critical-infrastructure-reporting-letter\/\">industry criticism<\/a> from groups that wanted a narrower reading of the definitions of the law\u2019s key terms and phrases.<\/p>\n<p>The Information Technology Industry Council, which had co-signed letters about the proposed regulation, said the delay gives CISA a chance to adopt industry input.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEnhancing operational efficiency through improved visibility into significant cyber incidents remains a top priority for the tech industry,\u201d said Leopold Wildenauer, director of cybersecurity policy for the group. \u201cCIRCIA will have a significant impact on the U.S. cyber landscape, so it\u2019s critical to get it right. CISA should use this extended timeline to meaningfully incorporate industry input and realign the rule with Congress\u2019s original intent. At the same time, efforts to streamline incident reporting and harmonize requirements across the federal government must move forward to drive better security outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bloomberg Law had <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bloomberglaw.com\/privacy-and-data-security\/cyber-agency-pushes-data-breach-reporting-final-rule-to-2026\">earlier reported the planned delay<\/a>, based on a notice that disappeared from the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs website for weeks afterward.<\/p>\n<p>Personnel cutbacks at CISA and other developments had long prompted concerns that the agency <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/cisa-sean-plankey-circia-deadline-op-ed\/\">would not meet<\/a> the October CIRCIA deadline. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/dhs-wont-tell-congress-how-many-people-its-cut-from-cisa\/\">said in May<\/a> she would support re-opening industry consultation on the proposed regulation.&nbsp;<\/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 notice about the delay clears up uncertainty about CISA\u2019s plans, said Caleb Skeath, a partner at the Covington law firm.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt helps provide some clarity on what the next steps are. We did have a statutory deadline for having these rules published, but there had not been a lot of information coming out of CISA for a pretty long period of time since the comment period,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd it\u2019s a very broad, wide-ranging rule that\u2019s going to impact a lot of entities across a lot of industry sectors, and is going to require very quick reporting of a lot of information about cybersecurity incidents.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There are limits to the kinds of changes the Trump administration could make to the proposed regulation without going to Congress for additional leeway, Skeath said. And it\u2019s possible that it could take extra time beyond publication of a final rule in May for the regulation to go into effect, he said.<\/p>\n<p><\/body> <\/p>\n<footer class=\"single-article__footer\">\n<div class=\"author-card\" readability=\"7.7216117216117\">\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\/2025\/09\/cisa-pushes-final-cyber-incident-reporting-rule-to-may-2026-1.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Tim Starks\"> <\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-card__details\" readability=\"10.901098901099\">\n<h4 class=\"author-card__name\">Written by Tim Starks<\/h4>\n<p> Tim Starks is senior reporter at CyberScoop.
