Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards

Request for a Revision to OMB Collection 1670-0007

The request for a revision to OMB Collection 1670-0007 is based upon the need to update the burden estimates based upon historical data collected from January 2009 to December 2011. The revised burden estimates also reflect the growing maturity of CFATS, the removal of CVI Training and Authorization instrument from this collection, the addition of the Request to Improve Program Burden instrument, and the addition of recordkeeping costs.

The “Questions” in the location column refer to the questions in Statement A.
