SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Program Description 

The Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism 

Standards (CFATS), 6 CFR Part 27, are 

the Department’s regulations under 

Section 550 governing security at highrisk chemical facilities. 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. The 

regulations were designed, in 

collaboration with the private sector and 

other stakeholders, 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 

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 125 / Wednesday, July 1, 2009 / Notices 31461 

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 

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

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

3. Enhance the quality, utility, and

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated,

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology,
