Key point: CISA’s virtual town hall meetings for CIRCIA rulemaking have been rescheduled for June 15-18, 2026.

On May 26, 2026, CISA announced the dates for the rescheduled CIRCIA rulemaking town hall meetings between June 15-18, 2026. The agency’s use of town halls is discretionary and is not mandated within the federal rulemaking process. CISA canceled the original events because of the DHS funding impasse, and the new meetings will be held virtually as described in the table below.

Parties interested in providing input on the ransomware reporting requirements can register for these sessions at https://www.cisa.gov/circia. The deadline to register for any of the four events is two business days before each event.

Stakeholders who want CISA to consider written materials during one of the events must submit those materials no later than seven calendar days after the meeting. Submitted materials will be publicly available as part of the rulemaking docket.
