Expedited Approval Program, a Tier 3 or
Tier 4 chemical facility may submit a
Site Security Plan to DHS, which must
either follow the prescriptive measures
described in the guidance document
announced by this Notice of
Availability, or the Tier 3 or Tier 4
chemical facility must certify that any
material deviations from the guidance
meet the risk-based performance
standards contained in CFATS.5 If a
Tier 3 or Tier 4 chemical facility
chooses to submit a Site Security Plan
in accordance with the guidance, DHS
can review the Site Security Plan for
facial deficiency within 100 days after
the date on which the Plan is received
by DHS, as outlined in section
2102(c)(4)(G)(i) of the Homeland
Security Act of 2002. DHS will
subsequently monitor facilities’
compliance with their Site Security
Plans in accordance with this guidance
through inspections and audits
conducted under CFATS.

Homeland Security Act of 2002
provides that the Secretary is exempt
from the requirements of section 553 of
the Administrative Procedure Act, 5
