SPECIFIC PTA QUESTIONS
1. Please describe the purpose of the project or program:
Please provide a general description of the project and its purpose in a way a non-technical person could
understand.
Section 550 of the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act of 2007, Pub. L. No. 109-295
authorizes DHS to regulate the security of high-risk chemical facilities. The National Protection and
Programs Directorate (NPPD), Office of Infrastructure Protection (IP), Infrastructure Security
Compliance Division (ISCD) implements this statutory authority through the Chemical Facility AntiTerrorism Standards (CFATS) regulations, 6 CFR Part 27. CFATS establishes a risk-based approach to
identifying and securing chemical facilities determined by NPPD to be “high-risk.” CFATS provides
DHS with authorization to obtain information from high-risk facilities to support the implementation of
CFATS.
The purpose of this PTA is to provide updated information regarding the three CFATS collections being
submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for approval.
As background:
The Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) requires prior approval from OMB on how NPPD proposes to
collect the necessary information for program implementation by affected facilities. NPPD uses three
Information Collection Requests (ICRs) to gather information from chemical facilities in order to
implement CFATS as follows:
OMB Collection #1670-0007 supports the Department’s requirements under CFATS to collect
the primary core regulatory data electronically through the Chemical Security Assessment Tool
(CSAT). This is an ICR for Renewal (revision with change of a currently approved collection),
which includes the following changes: (1) Removal of the Chemical-terrorism Vulnerability
Information (CVI) Authorization Instrument; (2) Addition of the Request to Improve Program
Instrument; (3) Inclusion of Recordkeeping burden for the first time; and (4) Reduction of the
Burden Estimate by $44 million, which is based upon actual historical data collected between
January 2009 and December 2011.
OMB Collection #1670-0014 supports the Department’s requirements to manage the CFATS
program. This is an ICR for Extension (revision without change of a currently approved
collection). Although the collection hasn’t changed, there is a reduction of the Burden Estimate
by $150,000, which is based upon actual historical data collected between January 2009 and
December 2011.
OMB Collection #1670-0015 supports the Department’s requirements to manage the CVI
program in support of CFATS. This is an ICR for Extension (revision without change of a
currently approved collection). Although the collection hasn’t changed, there is an increase of the
Burden Estimate by $2,500, which is based upon actual historical data collected between January
2009 and December 2011.
The current Information Collections (ICs) expire on March 31, 2013. Failure to obtain OMB approval to
revise these ICs will result in NPPD being unable to collect vital information from our stakeholders.

4. What specific information about individuals could be collected, generated or retained?
Please provide a specific description of information that might be collected, generated or retained such

DHS defines personal information as “Personally Identifiable Information” or PII, which is any information that permits the
identity of an individual to be directly or indirectly inferred, including any information that is linked or linkable to that individual,
regardless of whether the individual is a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident, visitor to the U.S., or employee or contractor to
the Department. “Sensitive PII” is PII, which if lost, compromised, or disclosed without authorization, could result in substantial
harm, embarrassment, inconvenience, or unfairness to an individual. For the purposes of this PTA, SPII and PII are treated the
same.

PII may be collected through the CFATS Help Desk
via e-mail, mail, fax, or telephone, and through the
CFATS Tip Line via telephone (voicemail).
Additionally, NPPD makes available basic user
information of CSAT Users and CVI Authorized
Users to the CFATS Help Desk vendor in order to
provide better customer service in a more timeefficient manner.
Existing

When data is sent over the Internet, each unit transmitted includes both header information and the actual data
being sent. The header identifies the source and destination of the packet, while the actual data is referred to as the
payload. Because header information, or overhead data, is only used in the transmission process, it is stripped from
the packet when it reaches its destination. Therefore, the payload is the only data received by the destination system.
4 PII may be shared, received, or connected to other DHS systems directly, automatically, or by manual processes.
Often, these systems are listed as “interconnected systems” in TAFISMA.
