ISCD Updates 5 FAQ Responses – 12-21-20

Today the CISA Infrastructure Security Compliance Division (ISCD) updated the responses to five frequently asked questions (FAQs) on the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) Knowledge Center web page. The same substantive change was made in each case.

The following FAQ responses were revised:

FAQ #1275 What needs to be done with the facility ID in the Chemical Security Assessment Tool (CSAT) when a covered chemical facility is bought or sold?

FAQ #1557 What should a facility do if it believes the risk-based tier determination that the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has assigned it no longer reflects the actual security risk posed to the facility?

FAQ #1620 How does an individual report a possible security concern involving the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) regulation at one’s facility or another facility?

FAQ #1666 Does a covered chemical facility have an obligation to notify the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) if the facility is closing?

FAQ #1756 What action is required if a facility needs to change owner and/or operator names when it is not related to a transfer of ownership?

If the links do not take you to the referenced FAQ you will have to use the ‘Advanced Search’ function on the page to link to the FAQ or download the ‘All FAQs’ document at the bottom of the ‘Advanced Search’ page.
