ISCD Updates 2 FAQs – 6-22-20

Today the CISA Infrastructure Security Compliance Division updated the responses to frequently asked questions (FAQs) on the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) Knowledge Center. The two FAQs were:

FAQ #516 - Where can I take Chemical-terrorism Vulnerability Information (CVI) training?

FAQ #641 - When does a facility need to submit a Chemical Security Assessment Tool (CSAT) Top-Screen?

The Minor Changes

The revised FAQ #516 changes the response from including the site name and URL for online CVI training to simply using the site name as a clickable link. Similarly in FAQ #641 the revised response removed the phrase “which can be found at https://www.dhs.gov/appendix-a-chemicals-interest-list” and making the site title “Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) Appendix A” a clickable link. In both instances the original URL and subsequent link go to the same web site.

Commentary

This is a change in editorial style not a change in policy or procedures. I wonder if/when ISCD will get around to changing all of the FAQs where a URL is provided for a web page, see for example FAQ #1392.
