DHS CSAT FAQ Page Update 09-18-09

Last week DHS revised the answer to one of the frequently asked questions on the CSAT FAQ page. The underlying question was: 1461: What resources are available to determine the total production value for an economically critical chemical? The revision was the addition of a brief description of the current version of the Top-Screen User’s Manual, “(PDF, 86 pages – 1.13 MB)”. DHS uses this description as a short hand to identify changes in the version of document. I’m not sure why they use that convention instead of a standard version number or version date, both of which are published on all CSAT reference documents. The only thing that I can think of is that it does provide some indication of how long it will take to download the documents. This is not nearly as important as it used to be with most corporate internet users having routine access to high-speed internet access.
