CFATS Podcast

This week Dan Verton had me on his LiveSafe podcast discussing the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) program reauthorization process. He discussed some of the Congressional concerns that have been raised during the reauthorization process to date and we talked about the practical aspects of some of those issues. Its well worth the listen even ignoring my contribution at the end (grin).

I have written rather extensively on the CFATS reauthorization issue. In particular, last year I did a series of blog posts on language that I would like to see included in the reauthorization bill. These posts include:

• Cybersecurity;

• Agricultural exemption;

• Protection from drones;

• Excluded facilities;

• Academic laboratories;

• Inherently safer technologies;

• STQ adjustments;

• WMD criminal activities; and

• Emergency response;
