The cybersecurity practices and procedures of public utility companies servicing Michigan residents will soon be subject to examination by the Michigan Public Service Commission (MPSC).  In an Order issued on November 22, 2016, the MPSC directed its staff to develop rules requiring public utility companies to report to the MPSC on the utilities’ cybersecurity practices and procedures.  The rules will ultimately be included in Michigan’s Technical Standards for Electric Service (Mich. Admin Rule 460.3101 et seq.) and Technical Standards for Gas Service (Mich. Admin Rule Rule 460.2301 et seq.).
