DHS's Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) October 2017 Update
Identifying Facilities as High-Risk and Regulating Site Security, the CFATS regulatory program uses a risk-assessment methodology to identify high-risk chemical facilities. DHS determines risk profiles by requiring facilities that possess specific quantities of chemicals of interest (COI) to complete a questionnaire, known as a Top-Screen, on their chemical holdings. Facilities determined to be high-risk must submit a Security Vulnerability Assessment (SVA) and Site Security Plan (SSP) or Alternative Security Program (ASP) to DHS for approval. The plan must include security measures that meet the risk-based performance standards established by DHS. The Department performs an authorization inspection at the facility prior to granting a security plan approval. Once a facility’s plan is approved, DHS conducts regular compliance inspections to verify that a facility is implementing the agreed-upon security measures. Current Statistics |
