SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
550 of the Homeland Security
Appropriations Act of 2007, Public Law
109–295 (2006), provided the
Department with the authority to
regulate the security of high-risk
chemical facilities. On April 9, 2007, the
Department issued an Interim Final
Rule (IFR), implementing this statutory
mandate at 72 FR 17688. In December
of 2014, the President signed into law
the Protecting and Securing Chemical
Facilities from Terrorist Attacks Act of
2014 (also known as the CFATS Act of
2014), Public Law 113–254, which
authorized CFATS program in the
Homeland Security Act of 2002, as
amended, Public Law 107–296.4
The CFATS regulation governs the
security at covered chemical facilities
that have been determined, by the
Department, to be at high risk for
terrorist attack. See 6 CFR part 27.
CFATS represents a national-level effort
to minimize terrorism risk to such
facilities. Its design and implementation
balance maintaining economic vitality
with securing facilities and their
surrounding communities. The
regulations were designed, in
collaboration with the private sector and
other stakeholders, to take advantage of
protective measures already in place
and to allow facilities to employ a wide

Title XXI to the Homeland Security Act of 2002.
Title XXI contains new sections numbered 2101
through 2109. Citations to the Homeland Security
Act of 2002 throughout this document reference
those sections of Title XXI. In addition to being
found in amended versions of the Homeland
Security Act of 2002, those sections of Title XXI can
also be found in section 2 of the CFATS Act of
2014, or in 6 U.S.C. 621–629.

range of tailored measures to satisfy the
regulations’ Risk-Based Performance
Standards. The Department collects the
core regulatory data necessary to
implement CFATS through the portions
of the Chemical Security Assessment
Tool (CSAT) 5 covered under a different
information collection (1670–0007). In
September 2016, after approval by OMB
of information collection 1670–0007,
the Department deployed a major
update to the CSAT system which
incorporated new efficiencies by
improving workflow and eliminating
duplication of information collected. As
a result, the Department proposes
revisions to the burden of some
instruments in this collection (1670–
0014) based primarily upon on data
from 2014–1206 and, in part, on new
efficiencies that were previously
unavailable in the CSAT system.
The proposed revisions for this
collection are summarized below:
• This request contains a name
change for two previously approved
instruments to clarify the functional
purpose of both instruments.
Specifically, ‘‘Request for a Technical
Consultation’’ has been changed to
‘‘Compliance Assistance’’ and
‘‘Notification of New Top-Screen’’ has
been changed to ‘‘Top-Screen Update.’’
No other revisions to the instruments
are proposed.
• The ‘‘Request for Redetermination’’
instrument provides a variety of
possible reasons that facilities may
select to support the justification for a
redetermination request. The
Department proposes to amend this
instrument to allow facilities to select
from a list of possible reasons to support
a request for redetermination.
• This request proposes the addition
of a new instrument titled ‘‘Declaration
of Reporting Status’’ which allows a
chemical facility to notify the
Department that it is not required to
register in CSAT or submit a TopScreen.

The Department’s Methodology in
Estimating the Burden for the Request
for Redetermination
Number of Respondents
The current information collection
estimated that 625 respondents would
submit a request for a Request for
Redetermination annually. Based on
data collected between Calendar Year
(CY) 2014–2016, 680 respondents, on
average, submitted a Request for
Redetermination annually. Because this

Jkt 241001

figure reasonably aligns with the
Department’s prior estimate of 625
respondents, the Department will retain
the current information collection
estimate of 625 respondents for this
instrument.
Estimated Time per Respondent
In the current information collection,
the estimated time per respondent to
prepare and submit a Request for
Redetermination is 0.25 hours (15
minutes). Based upon the Department’s
day-to-day informal discussions with
respondents, the Department believes
that a reasonable burden for gathering
and providing supporting
documentation continues to be 0.25
hours and will retain this estimate.
Annual Burden Hours
The annual burden hours for a
Request for Redetermination is [0.25
hours × 625 respondents × 1 response
per respondent], which equals 156.25
hours.
Total Capital/Startup Burden Cost
The Department provides access to
CSAT free of charge and assumes that
each respondent already has computer
hardware and access to the internet for
basic business needs. Therefore, there
are no annualized capital or start-up
costs incurred by chemical facilities of
interest or high-risk chemical facilities
for this information collection.
Total Recordkeeping Burden
There are no recordkeeping burden
costs incurred by chemical facilities of
interest or high-risk chemical facilities
for this information collection.6
Total Annual Burden Cost
The Department assumes that Site
Security Officers (SSOs) are responsible
for submitting a Request for
Redetermination. For the purpose of this
notice, the Department maintains this
assumption.
Therefore, to estimate the total annual
burden, the Department multiplied the
annual burden of 156.25 hours by the
average hourly wage rate of SSOs of
$67.72 per hour.7 Therefore, the total
annual burden cost for the Request for
Redetermination instrument is
$10,581.25 [156.25 total annual burden
6 The recordkeeping burden for facilities under
CFATS is accounted for by the Department under
the CSAT Information Collection No. 1670–0007.
7 As in the currently approved collection, the
Department assumes that SSOs are responsible for
submitting the instruments associated with this
collection. This notice uses the labor rate for SSOs
used by the Department for the recently approved
CSAT IC 1670–0007. The Department describes the
labor rate in the 60-day PRA notice found at in 80
FR 72086 (Nov. 18, 2015).

hours × $67.72 per hour which equals
$10,581.25].
The Department’s Methodology in
Estimating the Burden for the Request
for an Extension
Number of Respondents
The current information collection
estimated that 185 respondents would
submit a request for a Request for an
Extension annually. Based on data
collected between CY 2014–2016, 730 of
respondents, on average, submitted a
Request for an Extension annually. In
light of the increase in annual requests
for redeterminations received, for the
last three years, the Department
proposes to revise the estimated number
of respondents for this instrument to
730 respondents.
Estimated Time per Respondent
In the current information collection,
the estimated time per respondent to
prepare and submit a Request for an
Extension is 0.25 hours (15 minutes).
During 2016, the Department updated
CSAT and incorporated an automated
feature to collect this information
electronically. In addition, based on this
change and the Department’s informal
day-to-day interactions with
respondents on the new implementation
of CSAT, the Department believes that
a reasonable burden for gathering and
providing supporting documentation is
now 0.08 hours (5 minutes) for this
instrument.
Annual Burden Hours
The annual burden hours for the
Request for an Extension is [0.08 hours
× 730 respondents × 1 response per
respondent], which equals 58.40 hours.
Total Capital/Startup Burden Cost
The Department provides access to
CSAT free of charge and assumes that
each respondent already has computer
hardware and access to the internet for
basic business needs. Therefore, there
are no annualized capital or start-up
costs incurred by chemical facilities of
interest or high-risk chemical facilities
for this information collection.
Total Recordkeeping Burden
There are no recordkeeping burden
costs incurred by chemical facilities of
interest or high-risk chemical facilities
for this information collection.8

assumption. Therefore, to estimate the
total annual burden, the Department
multiplied the annual burden of 58.40
hours by the average hourly wage rate
of SSOs of $67.72 per hour. Therefore,
the total annual burden cost for a
Request for an Extension instrument is
$3,954.85 [[58.40 hours × $67.72 per
hour], which equals $3,954.85].
Top-Screen Update
Number of Respondents
The current information collection
estimated that 1,250 respondents would
submit a request for a Top-Screen
Update annually. Based on data
collected between CY 2014–2016, 1,250
of respondents, on average, submitted a
Top-Screen Update annually. Because
the annual average aligns with the
Department’s originally estimated
threshold, the Department will retain
the currently approved estimate of 1,250
respondents for this instrument.
Estimated Time per Respondent
In the current information collection,
the estimated time per respondent to
prepare and submit a Top-Screen
Update is 0.25 hours. During 2016, the
Department updated CSAT and
incorporated an automated feature to
collect this information electronically.
In addition, based on this change and
the Department’s informal day-to-day
interactions with respondents on the
new implementation of CSAT, the
Department believes that a reasonable
burden for gathering and providing
supporting documentation is now 0.08
hours (5 minutes) for this instrument.
Annual Burden Hours
The annual burden hours for a TopScreen Update is [0.08 hours × 1,250
respondents × 1.5 responses per
respondent], which equals 150 hours.

The Department’s Methodology in
Estimating the Burden for the
Compliance Assistance
Number of Respondents
The current information collection
estimated that 185 respondents would
submit a request for a Compliance
Assistance annually. Based on data
collected between CY 2014–2016, 455 of
respondents, on average, submitted a
request for Compliance Assistance
annually. In light of the recent increase
in annual requests for Compliance
Assistance, the Department proposes to
revise the estimated number of
respondents for this instrument to 455
respondents.
Estimated Time per Respondent
In the current information collection,
the estimated time per respondent to
prepare and submit a Compliance
Assistance is 0.25 hours (approximately
15 minutes). However, based on the
Department’s informal day-to-day
interactions with respondents and past
reviews of Compliance Assistance
requests, the Department believes that a
reasonable burden for gathering and
providing supporting documentation is
now 0.08 hours (5 minutes) for this
instrument.
The annual burden hours for the
Compliance Assistance is [0.08 hours ×
455 respondents × 1.5 responses per
respondent], which equals 54.60 hours.
Total Capital/Startup Burden Cost
The Department assumes that each
respondent already has computer
hardware and access to the internet for
basic business needs. Therefore, there
are no annualized capital or start-up
costs incurred by chemical facilities of
interest or high-risk chemical facilities

notice, the Department maintains this
assumption. Therefore, to estimate the
total annual burden, the Department
multiplied the annual burden of 150
hours by the average hourly wage rate

interest or high-risk chemical facilities
for this information collection.10
Total Annual Burden Cost
The Department assumes that SSOs
are responsible for submitting a
Compliance Assistance. For the purpose
of this notice, the Department maintains
this assumption. Therefore, to estimate
the total annual burden, the Department
multiplied the annual burden of 111.38
hours by the average hourly wage rate
of SSOs of $67.72 per hour. Therefore,
the total annual burden cost for the
Compliance Assistance instrument is
$3,697.51 [[54.60 total annual burden
hours × $67.72 per hour], which equals
$3,697.51].
The Department’s Methodology in
Estimating the Burden for the
Declaration of Reporting Status
This is a new instrument that a
facility is not required to use. This
instrument, if approved, will allow a
chemical facility of interest to notify the
Department that it is not required to
register in CSAT or submit a TopScreen.
Number of Respondents
The Department estimates that the
number of annual respondents to this
instrument will be 480 respondents.
This estimate is based on the number of
potential chemical facilities of interest
that were identified from CY 2014–2016
that may have needed to submit
additional information. This
information would have aided the
Department in determining if the
chemical facilities of interest had
properly reported or needed to be
eliminated from having to report under
CFATS.
Estimated Time per Respondent
This instrument will request
information from chemical facilities
about their business operations to allow
the Department to identify whether the
facility is a chemical facility of interest
that may be excluded from coverage by
the CFATS Program. Information
collected includes whether the facility
possesses Chemicals of Interest (COI)
that meet or exceed the Screening
Threshold Quantity (STQ) described in
Appendix A of the CFATS regulation
and whether the facility is statutorily
excluded from reporting. The
Department expects the estimated time
per respondent to prepare and submit a
Declaration of Reporting Status is 0.25
hours (15 minutes).

Annual Burden Hours
The annual burden hours for the
Declaration of Reporting Status is [0.25
hours × 480 respondents × 1 response
per respondent], which equals 120
hours.
Total Capital/Startup Burden Cost
The Department assumes that each
respondent already has computer
hardware and access to the internet for
basic business needs. Therefore, there
are no annualized capital or start-up
costs incurred by chemical facilities of
interest or high-risk chemical facilities
for this information collection.

Total Recordkeeping Burden
There is no recordkeeping burden for
this instrument is de minimus as
estimated by the Department for similar
instruments under the CSAT
Information Collection (IC No. 1670–
0007).
Total Annual Burden Cost
The Department maintains the
assumption found in the other
instruments within this Information
Collection that SSOs are responsible for
submitting information to the
Department. Thus, the Department
assumes that an SSO will submit the
Declaration of Reporting Status.
Therefore, to estimate the total annual
burden, the Department multiplied the
annual burden of 120 hours by the
average hourly wage rate of SSOs of
$67.72 per hour. Therefore, the total
annual burden cost for the Declaration
of Reporting Status instrument is
$8,126.40 [120 total annual burden
hours × $67.72 per hour], which equals
$8,126.40].
OMB is particularly interested in
comments that:
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).
