How to Comply with the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS)

Why Should You Attend:

CFATS is the Nation’s first regulatory program focused specifically on security at high-risk chemical facilities. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), through the Infrastructure Security Compliance Division (ISCD), administers the CFATS program by working with facilities to ensure they have security measures in place to reduce the risks associated with certain hazardous chemicals, and prevent them from being exploited in a terrorist attack.

Under CFATS, a chemical facility is any establishment or individual that possesses or plans to possess any of the 300 chemicals of interest (COI) in Appendix A at or above the listed Screening Threshold Quantity (STQ). These facilities must report their chemical holdings to DHS via an online an online questionnaire, known as a Top-Screen. DHS uses the Top-Screen information a facility submits to determine if the facility is considered high-risk and must develop a security plan.
