Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Regulation Compliance |
||||||||
| Conversion Technology, Inc. (CTI) helps companies comply with the new DHS regulation released on on November 2, 2007. Appendix A of the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (Title 6 CFR Part 27) contains a list of approximately 300 chemicals and associated "screening threshold quantities." On November 20, 2007, the new list and the revised regulatory text to support the list changes were published in the Federal Register. Every facility with threshold quantities of one or more of the chemicals in the list in Appendix A, must register online with DHS and submit an online consequence assessment (i.e. a Top-Screen submission). Phase 1 & Phase 2 Facilities Deadline- January 22, 2008.
The Top-Screen assessment will allow DHS to make a preliminary determination as to whether or not a facility presents a security risk that requires further action under the regulation. Operators of these facilities will either be informed they have no additional requirements (i.e. are considered low risk) or will be placed in one of four risk tiers and will have to submit additional assessments and plans based on the facility tier assignment.
