ISCD Publishes CFATS Update – 9-30-16

Today the DHS Infrastructure Security Compliance Division (ISCD) published their October 2016 CFATS Update, outlining the status of the implementation of the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) site security plan (SSP) process. Even while ISCD is working on implementing CSAT 2.0 there continues to be increases in the number of CFATS facilities with authorized and approved SSPs.

Covered Facilities
2,984
2,962
2,948
Authorized SSPs
3,410
3,415
3,448
Approved SSPs
2,645
2,653
2,671
Compliance Inspections
1,177
1,260
1,281

The update continues to ignore:

• Calls for a categorization of why over half of the facilities initially covered by the CFATS program have left the program;
• Calls for an explanation of why there are more authorized SSPs than there are facilities in the CFATS program;
• Calls for an explanation of how many SSPs remain to be completed;
• Calls for an accounting of how many of the facilities have failed their compliance inspections.


NOTE: All of those ‘Calls for…’ have come from this blog.
