SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

550 of the Homeland Security 

Appropriations Act of 2007, Public Law 

109–295, provides DHS 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. 

Section 550 of the Homeland Security 

Appropriations Act of 2007 requires a 

risk-based approach to security. 

CFATS is the Department’s 

regulations under Section 550 governing 

security at high-risk chemical facilities. 

See 6 CFR part 27. CFATS represents a 

national-level effort to minimize 

terrorism risk to such facilities. Its 

design and implementation balance 

maintaining economic vitality with 

securing facilities and their surrounding 

communities. In collaboration with the 

private sector and other stakeholders, 

the Department designed the regulations 

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’ RiskBased Performance Standards. 

In 6 CFR 27.400, CFATS also 

establishes the requirements that 

covered persons must follow to 

safeguard certain documents and other 

information developed under the 

regulations. This information is 

identified as ‘‘Chemical-terrorism 

Vulnerability Information’’ (CVI) and by 

law receives protection from public 

disclosure and misuse. The instruments 

within this collection will be used to 

manage the CVI program in support of 

CFATS. 

Response to Comment Submitted 

During 60-Day Comment Period: The 

Department received a comment 


pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 52 / Monday, March 18, 2013 / Notices 16699 

suggesting that in the 60-day notice, the 

Department incorrectly calculated the 

burden estimates associated with the 

instrument ‘‘Chemical-terrorism 

Vulnerability Information Tracking 

Log.’’ The commenter assumed that the 

number of responses per respondent for 

this instrument was one. In fact, the 

Department estimated in the current 

Information Collection, which expires 

on March 31, 2013, that each 

respondent will on average respond 12 

times. This assumption was carried over 

into the burden estimates used by the 

Department in the 60-day notice but not 

made explicit. The total annual burden 

for this instrument is calculated as 

follows [0.0833 hours (five minutes) × 

30,000 respondents × 12 responses per 

respondent], which equals 29,988 hours. 

The rounded estimate is 30,000 hours. 

The Department did not revise the 

burden estimates for this instrument. 

Therefore, for this instrument and the 

other instruments in this 30-day notice 

the Department will continue to rely on 

the analysis and resulting burden 

estimates in the 60-day notice.
