CISA Provides ‘Red-Lined’ version of Revised CFATS Regulations

Today CISA published a notice on the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) program landing page about the availability of an unofficial copy of 6 CFR Part 27 (the CFATS regulations) that included ‘red-lined’ corrections showing the result of the changes that were made in the recent direct final rule that was published earlier this month. The web page describing the .PDF document makes it very clear that this is not an official document that could be relied upon for regulatory actions.

The GPO has not yet updated the CFR to reflect the changes made by this rule. That will probably take place later this year (they are behind on lots of official publication stuff because of the COVID-19 Pandemic). Last year, however, the GPO started their semi-official eCFR project, and that is updated much more frequently. The version of eCFR Title 6 Part 27 available on-line this evening includes the corrections made by the latest rule.

If you want to see what changes were made by the rule, use the CISA document. If you want to really see what the current version looks like, use the eCFR.
