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.
