The CFATS Fact Sheet that I mentioned on Wednesday
has gotten a new name and home on the DHS web site. It is now called the CFATS
Update Fact Sheet and its link has a prominent place on the Critical
Infrastructure: Chemical Security web page.
According to Brian Hyer in public affairs at the Office of
Infrastructure Protection, the Department intends to update this fact sheet
monthly. Given the problems that ISCD has been having (and apparently is well
on its way to correcting) with authorizing and approving Site Security Plans,
we can certainly forgive them for wanting to publicize how well they are
currently doing.
Just a friendly warning, with people now watching for this
update, any delay in providing updates is going to result in questions being
asked about unannounced problems with the SSP authorization/approval process.
If/when problems do come up (and let’s face it, they will) ISCD is going to
have to get out in front and explain the problem. Fortunately this fact sheet
may provide just the right vehicle for that effort.
