Today, CISA update their ‘2023 Chemical Security Summit’ web page to both announce the location of the August Summit and to provide a link to the on-line registration page. The meeting will be held at the Crystal Gateway Mariott in Arlington, VA on August 29-31, 2023. Free registrations are available for both virtual and actual attendance at the Summit.
The registration process also includes an intermediate page that allows for personnel attending in person to request a consultation with a chemical security expert from CISA’s Office of Chemical Security on any of the topics listed below. Consult requests can also be completed at the Sumit registration desk.
BTW: I have completed my registration. Once again, I will be
attending virtually.

Well, I wonder how this is going to work out since CFATS didn't get reauthorized. If this is such an important program to prevent catastrophic incidents from occurring, why has it been allowed to require periodic reauthorization? It has always portrayed as needing reauthorization so that problematic issues can be worked out. Seems like after all these years, these "problematic issues" would have been resolved a long time ago. But, as stated in other areas, DHS has yet to implement a program implementing security measures around Ammonium Nitrate. When I left the industry in 2014 and moved over to a real critical infrastructure, they were just trying to get that off the ground. Nine years later, nothing... As having been there on the ground floor, this is a perfect example of how things have deteriorated in Washington. On the other hand, all those associations and companies who seem to think the failure of CFATS means they can't properly secure their facilities is hogwash. Keep doing what they've been doing, just because they don't have some inspector from DHS telling them that what they are doing is right doesn't mean they shouldn't keep doing it...
