As expected, there is now a banner on the Chemical Facility
Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) web
page reflecting the closed status for the Infrastructure Security
Compliance Division (ISCD) during this federal funding fiasco (FFF).
The banner links to a DHS blog
site that provides the following information:
“NOTICE: Due to the lapse in
federal funding, this website will not be actively managed. This website was
last updated on December 21, 2018 and will not be updated until after funding
is enacted. As such, information on this website may not be up to date.
Transactions submitted via this website might not be processed and we will not
be able to respond to inquiries until after appropriations are enacted.”
During an earlier
shutdown this year, ISCD, in addition to publishing a similar banner,
posted a note on the CFATS Knowledge
Center that provided minimal information about the impact of that FFF on
the CFATS program. There is not currently any such notice on the Knowledge
Center.
Interestingly, the CFATS Help Desk (866-323-2957) is
functioning; if I remember correctly it is run by a contractor and thus not
immediately affected by the FFF. I have a request thru the Help Desk about what
portions of the CFATS program are affected by the FFF; I really do not expect
to receive an answer until funding is restored.
