Yesterday the DHS Infrastructure Security Compliance Division
(ISCD) updated one of the responses to a frequently asked question (FAQ) on
their Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) Knowledge Center. The FAQ was #81:
In addition to adding the “2.0” in the question to reflect
the new and improved CSAT tool two additions were made to the FAQ response:
• Added a clickable link to the
CSAT 2.0 web site; and
• Added instructions for setting the TLS 1.0 security
setting when using Chrome®.
This FAQ was previously changed in February when the Firefox
TLS setting instructions were added.
BTW: I just noticed that the
February changes to the Knowledge Center that I previously
mentioned included removing at least three long standing FAQs (dated August
8th, 2008) and their responses. Those FAQs were:
• FAQ #42 Is DHS seeking to
pre-empt State chemical security regulations with the new Federal regulations?
• FAQ #54 What role did private
industry play in developing this rule?
• FAQ #55 Will there be fees
involved for the chemical companies?
These FAQs were probably superfluous, but they provided some
interesting insights into the early development of the CFATS program. I find it
interesting that the response to FAQ #55 indicated that DHS had considered a
number of fees to be associated with the program and kept the door open for
their possible future application.
