Washington
Washington's Court of Appeals interpreted a statute to exempt critical infrastructure information from its Public Records Act, although the phrase is not used in the statute. The court granted an injunction for an information request seeking a detailed map and attribute-level pipeline data under the terrorist security exemption of the Public Records Act. Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission (WUTC) was not required to disclose the data, although the data was not initially compiled to combat terrorism. More than 20 industry representatives asserted that gas pipeline system was part of critical energy infrastructure of state and region and that incapacity or destruction of the system would have potentially catastrophic consequences. Northwest Gas Ass'n v. Washington Utilities and Transp. Com'n (2007) 141 Wash. App. 98, 168 P.3d 443, review denied 163 Wash.2d 1049, 187 P.3d 750.

(4) Information regarding the public and private infrastructure and security of computer and telecommunications networks, consisting of security passwords, security access codes and programs, access codes for secure software applications, security and service recovery plans, security risk assessments, and security test results to the extent that they identify specific system vulnerabilities, and other such information the release of which may increase risk to the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of security, information technology infrastructure, or assets.
