From Pepco’s Response: 

[ *** ] Thank you again for the opportunity to participate in this year’s Cybersecurity Conference on July 16. During the event, you asked whether Washington Gas Light Company and Potomac Electric Power Company (“Pepco” or the “Company”) had any requests for the Public Service Commission of the District of Columbia. At the time, Pepco deferred its response to allow for internal consultation. Now the Company writes to share its thoughts. 

First and foremost, Pepco appreciates the Commission’s openness to input from the utilities. This proactive engagement fosters a collaborative and transparent regulatory environment, which Pepco values deeply. 

The Company views its engagement with the Commission and Commission staff to be frank, forthcoming, and productive for all involved. Thus, the Company does not have any specific issues or requests. More generally, however, Pepco respectfully requests that if ever the Commission considers additional cybersecurity regulations and/or reporting standards, it avoid duplication and mirror federal or state requirements. thereby allowing utilities to efficiently analyze and fulfill their reporting obligations. This is especially important given that when utilities contact the Commission (and other regulators) during a cyber incident, they are also likely to be engaged in active incident response and remediation. 

Additionally, if the Commission is evaluating cybersecurity practices or considering new approaches, we would welcome the opportunity to review and provide feedback on any preliminary findings or proposals. In this regard, the Company appreciates the ongoing dialogue with Commission staff as these communications enable the Company to respond quickly and effectively and support the Commission’s oversight responsibilities. 

We thank the Commission for the opportunity to provide this feedback. [ *** ]
