OCS Updates CFATS FAQ Response – 2-14-23

Today, CISA’s Office of Chemical Security updated a frequently asked question (FAQ) response on their Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) Knowledge Center. I also look at policy updates that should have been made. The FAQ Response revision updated the information provided to FAQ #1756 to add delivery options for delivering the described letter to OCS:

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?

NOTE: The link provided for the FAQ in this post was copied from the CFATS Knowledge Center but may not work when followed from your machine. This is an artifact of that web site. 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.

The revised information includes specifically authorizing the us of surface mail or email as alternative delivery options for the letter to OCS described in the response.
