OCS Updates CFATS Monthly Statistics – 4-1-21

Yesterday CISA’s Office of Chemical Security updated their CFATS Monthly Statistics page to reflect the activities of the chemical security inspectors of the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) program and the status of facilities covered by that program for the month of March 2021.

Compliance assistance visits dropped off last month, but that is more a function of requests by the regulated community than organizational planning by OCS.

The table below reports the month end status of facilities currently regulated under the CFATS program.

It is hard to tell for sure from the reported statistics, but it looks that, while there was a net increase in covered facilities last month, there still could have been a couple of facilities that were removed from coverage under the CFATS program.
