Yesterday the DHS Infrastructure Security Compliance
Division (ISCD) updated one of the responses to a frequently asked question
(FAQ) on the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) Knowledge
Center. The change in the FAQ referring to the National Terrorism Advisory
System (NTAS) is significant enough that it was specifically mentioned in the ‘Latest
News’ section of the Knowledge Center.
The FAQ response to FAQ #1724 (How
do National Terrorism Advisory System (NTAS) Alerts and Bulletins affect a
CFATS Facilities’ RBPS 13 compliance responsibilities?) is a complete
re-write and should be read by anyone responsible for security at a CFATS
covered facility. The change basically delineates between the differences in
facility response requirements for an NTAS Alert and an NTAS Bulletin.
Coincidentally, DHS published a new NTAS Bulletin
earlier this week. As with the previous
update there is nothing new here. It looks like we probably should have
stuck with the earlier, color-coded version of the NTAS; at least you did not
need to read anything to know that the situation was still the same.
