Today the folks at ISCD updated the CFATS Knowledge Center web site adding a
link to a “CFATS
Fact Sheet – April 2013”. This is the same fact sheet that was sent out to
facilities yesterday with the ISCD
announcement of the DHS OIG CFATS management report.
Fact Sheet
This is an interesting, one-page description of the CFATS
program as seen from the point of view of ISCD. A lot of the program
descriptions are in Washington-speak, but the box on the right side of the form
does provide some current numbers on the implementation of the program. There
is no specific data cut-off date give (April 2013), but the numbers do appear
to be updated from the latest (March 14th) congressional
testimony of Under Secretary Beers; authorized SSPs – 280 (vs 255), approved
SSPs/ASPs – 53 (vs 40). Progress appears to be continuing.
Other Changes
Back on March 13th there were two other additions
made to the CFATS Knowledge Center, the addition of Article 1730 and 1731. I
didn’t report on these then because they don’t really appear to be a real
addition to the knowledge base. It looks like these were test messages for the
use of a new software package (or something) called MITRE OT. I’m pretty sure
that they were supposed to have been deleted and not posted live.
No Personnel Surety
Changes
There is still not mention of the publication of the
Personnel Surety Program 60-day ICR notice. I really did expect to see at least
a note in the ‘Latest News’ section of the page and a link to a copy of the
60-day ICR in the ‘Documentation’ section. An article describing the
differences between this new ICR notice and the one canceled last summer would
really have been nice.
