surrounding communities. In 

collaboration with the private sector and 

other stakeholders, 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). 

CFATS also establishes, in 6 CFR 

27.400, the requirements that covered 

persons must follow to safeguard certain 

documents and other information 

developed under the regulations. This 

information is identified as ‘‘Chemicalterrorism 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. 

Solicitation of Comments 

No comments were received in 

response to the 60-day public comment 

period. However, the department has 

adjusted the cost estimates based on 

improved cost information. 

The Office of Management and Budget 

is particularly interested in comments 

which: 

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 

collected; and 

4. Minimize the burden of the 

collection of 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.
