Criteria for Critical Facilities

According to the TSA Pipeline Security Guidelines, pipeline facilities meeting one or more of the criteria below are considered to be critical:

A facility or combination of facilities that, if damaged or destroyed, would have the potential to:

1. Disrupt or significantly reduce required service or deliverability to installations identified as critical to national defense;

2. Disrupt or significantly reduce required service or deliverability to key infrastructure (such as power plants or major airports) resulting in major economic disruption;

3. Cause mass casualties or significant health effects;

4. Disrupt or significantly reduce required service or deliverability resulting in a state or local government’s inability to provide essential public services and emergency response for an extended period of time;

5. Significantly damage or destroy national landmarks or monuments;

6. Disrupt or significantly reduce the intended usage of major rivers, lakes, or waterways. (For example, public drinking water for large populations or disruption of major commerce or public transportation routes);

7. Disrupt or significantly reduce required service or deliverability to a significant number of customers or individuals for an extended period of time;

8. Significantly disrupt pipeline system operations for an extended period of time (i.e., business critical facilities).

Security Vulnerability Assessments (SVA)

A security vulnerability assessment (SVA) is one of the risk assessment methodologies pipeline operators may choose. The SVA serves as a planning and decision support tool to assist security managers with identifying, evaluating, and prioritizing risks; and determining effective security measures to mitigate threats and vulnerabilities to their critical facilities. Common steps performed while conducting an SVA include:

1. Asset Characterization - identification of hazards and consequences of concern for the facility, its surroundings, and its supporting infrastructure; and identification of existing layers of protection;

2. Threats Assessment - description of possible internal and external threats;

3. Security Vulnerability Analysis - identification of potential security vulnerabilities, existing security measures, and their level of effectiveness in reducing identified vulnerabilities;

4. Risk Assessment - determination of the relative degree of risk to the facility in terms of the expected effect on each asset and the likelihood of a success of an attack; and

5. Security Measures Analysis - strategies that reduce the probability of a successful attack or reduce the possible degree of success, strategies that enhance the degree of risk reduction, the capabilities and effectiveness of mitigation options, and the feasibility of the options.

Security Audits

A security audit is a structured assessment of the operator’s implementation of security policies and procedures at a specific facility. Audits typically include interviews with facility personnel, reviews of security-related documents and records, and a facility inspection.

Site-Specific Measures

Operators should develop, document, and implement site-specific security measures for each of their critical facilities. These measures should be tailored explicitly for each individual facility, with emphasis on specific procedures and actions to be taken at different threat levels. On a periodic basis, not to exceed 18 months, these facility specific measures should be reviewed and updated as necessary.

Security Inspections

Security inspections are the examination of physical and electronic security measures to ensure that they are delivering the designed security benefit to the facility. Additionally, security inspections should document signs of disrepair or damage to security measures, vandalism or theft of property, and indications of criminal, terrorist, or suspicious activity.
