DHS CSAT FAQ Page Update 10-24-08

Last week DHS reviewed or updated the FAQ responses to three questions. I found no new information in any of the answers. The questions were from two areas: CFATS Regulations and Chemical-terrorism Vulnerability Information (CVI). The three questions updated were:

1601: I completed the DHS CVI training to become a CVI Authorized User prior to September 22, 2008, and was required to sign a Non-disclosure Agreement (NDA) with DHS. I understand that a revised CVI Procedural Manual and updated CVI Authorized User training were made available on September 22, and that DHS no longer requires an NDA as part of the training to become an Authorized User. Is my CVI NDA still binding? 1604: Do I need to keep a record and/or printout of my survery before transmitting it to DHS? 1605: I am already a CVI Authorized User. Do I need to take the CVI training again to maintain my CVI Authorized User status?
