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. 

Solicitation of Comments 

OMB is particularly interested in 

comments that: 

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.
