Today the DHS Infrastructure Security Compliance Division
(ISCD) published a new
tool on the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS)
Knowledge Center. The tool can be used by facilities to help decide if
their recent CSAT 2.0 tiering letter will require edits of a currently approved
site security plan.
The new tool, the “Decision Tree: Could Site Security Plan
Edits be Required?”, is a flowchart with a series of binary response questions.
The answers to each question either lead to another question or one of two
ultimate answers:
“Edit may not be required”; or
“Recommended edit”
The alert reader will recognize that neither of those
responses are definitive. With the exception of one decision tree, the reason
for this is clear, the decision trees end with a question about the appropriateness
of existing security measures for the new situation. Since it is not
technically possible for the facility to definitively answer that question, the
facility will be required to make their best, educated-guess in answering that
question.
As in all things CFATS, if there are questions, contact your
facility Chemical Security Inspector, Regional Compliance Manager, or the CFATS
Hotline.
