Screen Information Collection from MTSA-Regulated Facilities Handling Chemicals
REMOVED FROM UNIFIED AGENDA LISTING 11-29-13
ABSTRACT: The Coast Guard proposes to require facilities
regulated under the Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002 (Pub. L.
107-295) (MTSA) that transport or handle certain chemicals of interest to
submit a "Top-Screen" to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
DHS developed Top-Screen under the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (Department
of Homeland Security Appropriations Act of 2007 (Pub. L. 109-295), section 550)
(CFATS). This rulemaking would not subject MTSA-regulated facilities to CFATS

the Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA).
