ISCD Publishes Updated CFATS Web Pages

Today the DHS Infrastructure Security Compliance Division (ISCD) updated their Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) program landing page. The new version provides links to three recently updated web pages:

• Request a Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) Presentation;

• Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) Risk-Based Performance Standards (RBPS); and

• Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS): Request a Compliance Assistance Visit

The changes to the Compliance Assistance Visit web page were cosmetic.

CFATS Presentation

This page added some information that should be included in the email requesting a presentation. The new questions include:

• Is this presentation part of a larger event or conference?

• How long is this presentation? Should the Department representative allot time for questions and answers from audience?

• Background of attendees?

• What other speakers will be presenting on the same topic/forum?

• Is the event open or closed to the press? If open, are press attending?

• Event agenda and website (when available)

RBPS

This page now includes a link to a new web page describing the new RBPS 18 guidance documents that were released last week. That new web page provides essentially the same information that I described in my earlier post on the topic.
