SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
550 of the Homeland Security
Appropriations Act of 2007, Public Law
109–295 (2006), provided the
Department with the authority to
regulate the security of high-risk
chemical facilities. On April 9, 2007, the
Department issued an Interim Final
Rule (IFR), implementing this statutory
mandate at 72 FR 17688. In December
2014, the President signed into law the
Protecting and Securing Chemical
Facilities from Terrorist Attacks Act of
2014 (the CFATS Act of 2014), Public
Law 113–254, which authorized the
Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism
Standards program in the Homeland
Security Act of 2002, as amended,
Public Law 107–296.5
5 Section 2 of the CFATS Act of 2014 adds a new
Title XXI to the Homeland Security Act of 2002.
Title XXI contains new secs. numbered 2101
through 2109. Citations to the Homeland Security
Act of 2002 throughout this document reference

The CFATS regulations (available at 6
CFR part 27) govern the security at
covered chemical facilities that have
been determined by the Department to
be at high risk for terrorist attack. See 6
CFR part 27. The CFATS represent
national-level effort to minimize the
terrorism risk to such facilities. Its
design and implementation balance
maintaining economic vitality with
securing facilities and their surrounding
communities. The regulations were
designed to take advantage of protective
measures already in place and to allow
facilities to employ a wide range of
tailored measures to satisfy the
regulations’ Risk-Based Performance
Standards (RBPS).
The Department collects the core
regulatory data necessary to implement
CFATS through the portions of the
CSAT covered under this collection. For
more information about CFATS and
CSAT, you may access www.dhs.gov/
chemicalsecurity. The current
information collection for CSAT (IC
1670–0007) will expire on April 30,
2016.6
Responses To Comments Submitted
During 60-Day Comment Period
The Department invited comments on
four questions:
(1) Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be

Comments Related to the Accuracy of
the Agency’s Estimate of the Burden of
the Proposed Collection of Information,
Including the Validity of the
Methodology and Assumptions Used
Comment: Private Citizen
commented, ‘‘It is impossible for any
individual or entity to make an adequate
determination or estimation of the time
and costs associated with the
submission of the revised Top-Screen
document. Although the revised
document is available to DHS it has not
been published and is not available to
this commenter or other interested
entity.’’
Response: The Department calculated
the reduction in Top-Screen time and
costs by measuring the time users were
logged into the CSAT system
completing a Top-Screen between
Calendar Year 2012–2014. DHS expects
that this level of time will remain the
same with the new Top-Screen survey.
Comment: Private Citizen
commented, ‘‘It is impossible for any
individual or entity to make an adequate
determination or estimation of the time
and costs associated with the
submission of the revised Security
Vulnerability Assessment document.
Although the revised document is
available to DHS it has not been
published and is not available to this
commenter or other interested entity.’’
Response: The Department calculated
the reduction in time and cost for the
new Security Vulnerability Assessment
(SVA) and Alternative Security Program
(ASP) surveys submitted in lieu of the
SVA by measuring the time users were
logged into the CSAT system
completing the previous SVA/ASP
between Calendar Year 2012–2014, and
subtracting time for the removal of
duplicate questions from the current
survey and removal of the attack
scenarios from the current survey.
Comment: Private Citizen
commented, ‘‘The Collection Request
document also states the Department is
considering requesting chemical
facilities of interest that have chemical
holdings at or above the non-screening
threshold quantities on Appendix of the
CFATS complete a Top Screen, even if

Jkt 238001

the facility has previously completed a
Top-Screen and been determined not to
be high-risk. It is understood that a new
baseline for all assets must be
established however for entities with a
large number of registered facilities with
a minimal number of tiered facilities
this will be a costly undertaking. Again
as in 1 above, it is impossible for any
individual or entity to make an adequate
determination or estimation of the time
and costs associated with the
submission of the revised Top-Screen
document. Although the revised
document is available to DHS it has not
been published and is not available to
this commenter or other interested
entity.’’
Response: The Department is only
considering requesting facilities that
have chemical holdings at or above
screening threshold quantities on
Appendix A to submit a new TopScreen. The Department calculated this
cost by taking the total number of
unique facilities 36,930 that have
submitted a Top-Screen since the
inception of the regulation in 2007 and
applying the time users were logged into
the system completing a Top-Screen
between Calendar Year 2012–2014.
Comment: Private Citizen
commented, ‘‘The assumption that Site
Security Officers are the only
individuals responsible for submitting
Top-Screens in many instances may not
be a valid assumption. There are costs
associated with other individuals that
may be involved in the process and in
other designated positions such as
Submitters and Authorizers. In many
instances the Site Security Officer
position is not a dedicated separate
position. These duties may be/are
assigned as additional duties to facility
supervisory, management, and
operations positions as well as
engineers. The cost curve for these
individuals is much greater.’’
Response: The Department agrees that
the actual cost to a facility may vary by
the number of people involved, the type
of people involved, and the unique
facility business operations. Since 2007,
the Department has published multiple
ICRs and received a significant number
of comments about the costs and
burdens associated with how to best
estimate the facility burden. Those
commenters have consistently accepted
the use of a Site Security Officer as a
reasonable baseline to estimate the costs
for most facilities. As a result, the
Department has elected to retain this
assumption.

Comments Related to the Quality,
Utility, and Clarity of the Information
To Be Collected
Comment: Industry Association
commented, ‘‘Some of the questions are
phrased as a double negative, making
the question unnecessarily confusing.
The questions should be phrased in
such a way that the expected answer is
abundantly evident. If the answer is a
simple yes or no, indicate that in the
question and provide a text box. If the
question requires supporting
information, indicate what types of
supporting documentation would be
acceptable and unacceptable.’’
Response: The Department has
redesigned the CSAT tool suite. As part
of this redesign, the Department
changed the question wording where
possible to make it clearer and easier to
understand.
Comments Related to Minimizing the
Burden of the Collection of the
Information on Those Who Are To
Respond, Including Through the Use of
Appropriate Automated, Electronic
Mechanical, or Other Technological
Collection Techniques or Other Forms of
Information Technology, e.g., Permitting
Electronic Submissions of Responses
Comment: Industry Association
commented, ‘‘The CSAT tool has
repetitive questions throughout the
document that extend the time to
complete. For example, Risk-Based
Performance Standard (RBPS) 4, repeats
questions from RBPS 1, 2 and 3. If the
questions must be asked multiple times,
it would be helpful to identify questions
that would elicit a similar response.’’
Response: The Department has
redesigned the CSAT tool suite. As part
of this redesign, the Department
removed repetitive questions.
Comment: Industry Association
commented, ‘‘DHS should consider the
format of RBPS 18. RBPS 18 stipulates
that every answer to every question
must be yes. Instead of filling out a form
by checking a series of boxes, those
requirements could be explicitly stated
with a simple signature or check box at
the bottom.’’
Response: The Department has taken
this recommendation and merged the
retention of records questions that must
be answered with a yes into one
question that is an affirmation
statement.
Other Comments Submitted in Response
to the Information Collection Request
Comment: Industry Association
commented, ‘‘DHS should consider
removing the chlorine rail car as a theft
issue in the tiering process. Chlorine rail

cars weigh between 83,000 and 93,000
lbs. when empty. Loaded rail cars weigh
in excess of 263,000 lbs. Due to the
extreme weight and the necessity to
transport them on permanent rails using
powerful mechanized systems, chlorine
rail cars should not be considered manportable.’’
Response: The Department has
developed an improved risk
methodology. As part of this improved
risk methodology, the Department will
consider packaging size and type in the
new vulnerability factor. Although
loaded rail cars, which are considered
bulk transportation items, are extremely
heavy and bulky, the potential for the
theft of these rail cars cannot be ruled
out.
Comment: Industry Association
commented, ‘‘Additionally, CI [Chlorine
Institute] members have received
feedback on Top Screens regarding the
release volume. For EPA’s RMP
submissions, the single largest container
is used as the release scenario. When
this volume was submitted on a Top
Screen, CI members were asked to
instead use the full inventory of the COI
[Chemical of Interest] within a 170 foot
radius. Especially for members who
package chlorine into multiple smaller
containers, such as cylinders and ton
containers, this scenario is highly
impractical and improbable and has the
potential to affect tier determination. It
is also unclear the origins of the 170foot radius specification.’’
Response: The CFATS program is a
security-based regulation that is focused
on mitigating the risk of intentional acts
which generate high consequences. It is
possible that these acts may involve
multiple cylinders, containers, etc. In
contrast, the EPA Risk Management
Program is a safety-based regulation that
is focused on accidental releases. Thus,
it is appropriate for the DHS modeling
to take into account the possibility and
consequences of an intentional act that
results in the release of multiple
cylinders/containers.
Comment: Industry Association
commented, ‘‘Since 2013, CI has had a
Cooperative Research and Development
Agreement (CRADA) with Chemical
Security Analysis Center (CSAC) within
DHS. With the support of the Chlorine
Institute, CSAC has conducted a series
of field experiments to study the
dispersion patterns and the nature of
reactivity of chlorine to its
surroundings. From these tests, CSAC
then modeled chlorine releases and
contributed those results to the newly
updated Chlorine Institute Pamphlet 74,
Guidance on Estimating the Area
Affected By A Chlorine Release. These
models are based on real-world, large-

VerDate Sep<11>2014

17:41 Apr 12, 2016

Jkt 238001

scale chlorine releases, modeled by DHS
scientists. For this reason, some
members have elected to use the release
estimates of Pamphlet 74 in lieu of
RMP*COMP, and have received
notification from DHS that RMP*COMP
must be used. The RMP*COMP is based
on a computational model, not realworld tests studied by DHS scientists.
DHS should consider, for chlorine,
allowing the use of Pamphlet 74
dispersion estimates in lieu of
RMP*COMP due to the higher level of
accuracy and to conserve resources by
using already existing dispersion
analysis.’’
Response: The Department has
developed an improved risk
methodology. As part of this improved
risk methodology, DHS will employ an
atmospheric dispersion model, thus
eliminating the need for facilities to use
the EPA RMP*Comp Tool.
Comment: Industry Association
commented, ‘‘DHS should develop a
Compliance Guide for performing audits
at each Tier Level. This will assist
regulated communities in preparing for
audits and achieving the intended
objectives of CFATS. Additionally,
some CI members have observed that
some DHS auditors completely ignore
CSAT questions during an audit; a
Compliance Guide could standardize
the auditing process.’’
Response: The Department will
consider developing a Compliance
Guide for performing audits, at each
Tier Level.
Comment: Industry Association
commented, ‘‘DHS should consider
combining the Top Screen and Security
Vulnerability Assessment processes.
Combining the processes would save
time for both the regulated community
and DHS as each process has similar
goals. DHS should also consider factors/
measures/conditions that if existing or
present would effectively lower the risk
ranking of the security issue and
effectively lower the Tier Level. This
may reduce the number of facilities that
are reassigned to a different tier later in
the process.’’
Response: The Department has
redesigned the CSAT tool suite. As part
of this redesign, the Department has
moved the questions relevant to tiering
determinations from the Security
Vulnerability Assessment survey to the
Top-Screen survey. Along with the
redesign of the CSAT tool suite DHS has
also developed an improved risk
methodology. In this improved risk
methodology, DHS has included a new
vulnerability metric, based on inherent
facility characteristics that reduce
vulnerability.
