CFATS Fact Sheet – February 2014

I just got an email from a contact at DHS that provided me with the link to the February 2014 CFATS Fact Sheet. It is not yet available on either Critical Infrastructure: Chemical Security [NOTE: As of 4:30 pm CST, 2-24-14, it is on this page] web page or on the CFATS Knowledge Center.

The important numbers as of February 1^st (numbers as of January 1^st)

• CFATS Covered Facilities – 4,266 (4,266)

• Security Plans Authorized – 1,389 (986)

• Security Plans Approved – 506 (417)

Table 1 below shows the overall number of authorized and approved Site Security Plans for each month since ISCD began publishing monthly numbers.

 Table 1: Total Authorized and Approved SSPs

Table 2 shows the average daily rate authorizations and approvals for the periods in question.

Table 2: Daily Average Authorized/Approved 

As I mentioned this weekend, I expect that the February numbers will be published early in time for Thursdays House hearing on HR 4007. If the numbers continue to improve like these latest figures show, some of the heat will be off of Director Wulf at that hearing.
