Late EO 13650 Listening Session Updates

Today the DHS National Protection and Programs Directorate published a notice in the Federal Register (79 FR 3602) providing ‘updated’ information concerning public listening sessions for the President’s Executive Order on Improving Chemical Safety and Security. (EO 13650). This updates information provided in a November Federal Register Notice.

Unfortunately, four of the five listening sessions listed in this update have already taken place, three of them had taken place when Assistant Secretary Durkovich signed this notice on January 10th (no reason is given for the delay between her signature and today’s posting). Fortunately, readers of this blog were already updated on these listening sessions back in December.

The link to the OSHA EO 13650 web site for information about these listening sessions is also apparently out of date, as it has no information about the location and times of the sessions. I have received an email from the EO 13650 Working Group with really updated information that includes a February 5th Listening Session in Newark, NJ. It provides links for the on-line registration for either attending in person or via teleconference.


Today’s Federal Register notice is indicative of how well the Working Group is meeting their time deadlines; a day late and a dollar short.

Additional ANSP Public Meeting Announced - Florida

Today the folks at DHS ISCD published a brief note in the ‘Latest News’ section of the CSAT Knowledge Center web page noting that they were adding another public listening session to collect public comments and concerns about their proposed rule establishing the Ammonium Nitrate Security Program (ANSP). The meeting will be held in St. Petersburg, FL on Thursday, November 19th. It isn’t specifically stated here, but all of the procedures that apply to the earlier listening sessions almost certainly apply to this one.

UPDATED 18:21 EDT: DHS also updated the Ammonium Nitrate Security Program web site to add this 'listening session' to their list.
