State, and local government, the private
sector, and academia.
The Council will meet in an open
session between 1:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.
EDT. The Council will swear in new
members, they will receive an update
from the Families and Children Care
Panel subcommittee, and review and
deliberate on reports from the; State,
Local, Tribal, and Territorial
Cybersecurity; Emerging Technologies;
and Countering Foreign Influence
subcommittees. Following this, there
will be a break for public commentary.
The Council will meet in a closed
session from 8:45 a.m. to 12:50 p.m.
EDT to receive sensitive operational
information from senior officials on
current counterterrorism threats, border
security, aviation security, and
cybersecurity.
Basis for Partial Closure: In
accordance with Section 10(d) of FACA,
the Secretary of Homeland Security has
determined this meeting requires partial
closure. The disclosure of the
information relayed would be
detrimental to the public interest for the
following reasons:
The Council will receive closed
session briefings at the For Official Use
Only and Law Enforcement sensitive
information from senior officials. These
briefings will concern matters sensitive
to homeland security within the
meaning of 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(7)(E) and
552b(c)(9)(B). The Council will receive
operational counterterrorism updates on
the current threat environment and
security measures associated with
countering such threats, including those
related to aviation security programs,
border security, immigration
enforcement, and cybersecurity.
The session is closed under 5 U.S.C.
552b(c)(7)(E) because disclosure of that
information could reveal investigative
techniques and procedures not generally
available to the public, allowing
terrorists and those with interests
against the United States to circumvent
the law and thwart the Department’s
strategic initiatives. Specifically, there
will be material presented during the
briefings regarding the latest viable
threats against the United States and
how DHS and other Federal agencies
plan to address those threats. Disclosure
of this information could frustrate the
successful implementation of protective
measures designed to keep our country
safe. In addition, the session is closed
pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(9)(B)
because disclosure of these techniques
and procedures could frustrate the
successful implementation of protective
measures designed to keep our country
safe.

The
CFATS Program identifies and regulates
the security of high-risk chemical
facilities using a risk-based approach.
Congress initially authorized the CFATS
Program under Section 550 of the
Department of Homeland Security
Appropriations Act of 2007, Public Law
109–295 (2006). Congress reauthorized
the CFATS Program for an additional
five years and three months under the
Protecting and Securing Chemical
Facilities from Terrorist Attacks Act of
2014 and the Chemical Facility AntiTerrorism Standards Program Extension
Act.4 The Department implemented the
CFATS Program through rulemaking
and issued an Interim Final Rule (IFR)
on April 9, 2007 and a final rule on
November 20, 2007. See 72 FR 17688
and 72 FR 65396.
CISA5 collects the core regulatory
data necessary to implement CFATS
through the Chemical Security
Assessment Tool (CSAT) covered under
this collection. For more information
about CFATS and CSAT, please visit
www.dhs.gov/chemicalsecurity. This
information collection (OMB Control
No. 1670–0007) will expire on July 31,
2019.6
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

1. Responses to Comments Submitted
During 60-Day Comment Period
In response to the 60-day notice 7 that
solicited comments, CISA received
several comments from a single
commenter related to the instrument,
‘‘Identification of Facilities and Assets
at Risk.’’ 8
Comment: The commenter believed
that CISA had not provided sufficient
information in the 60-day notice to
allow adequate comment about the
instrument, ‘‘Identification of
Additional Facilities and Assets at
Risk.’’ The commenter referenced the
existing instrument 9 and described the
two sections within the instrument.
4 The

CFATS Act of 2014 codified the CFATS
program into the Homeland Security Act of 2002.
See 6 U.S.C. 621 et seq.; see also The Chemical
Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards Program
Extension Act. Public Law 116–2 (2019).
5 Pursuant to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure
Security Agency Act of 2018, the National
Protection and Program Directorate (NPPD) was redesignated as CISA. See 6 U.S.C. 652.

The first section of the current
instrument is titled, ‘‘Identification of
Facilities’’ and collects information on a
voluntary basis when a facility ships
and/or receives Chemicals of Interest
(COI). The instrument collects: (1)
Shipping and/or receiving procedures,
(2) Invoices and receipts, and (3)
Company names and locations that COI
is shipped to and/or received from.
The second section is titled, ‘‘Assets
at Risk’’ and collects information on a
voluntary basis when the facility
identifies a Supervisory Control and
Data Acquisition (SCADA), Distributed
Control System (DCS), Process Control
Systems (PCS), or Industrial Control
Systems (ICS). Specifically, the
instrument collects information about:
(1) Details on the system(s) that
controls, monitors, and/or manages
small to large production systems as
well as how the system(s) operates; and
(2) If it is standalone or connected to
other systems or networks and
document the specific brand and name
of the system(s).
The commenter reviewed the current
instrument and noticed that CISA’s
estimates about the number of
respondents related to only the first
section of the current instrument (i.e.
Identification of Facilities). Specifically,
in the 60-day notice, CISA stated:
The current information collection
estimated that each year 211 respondents
would respond to this instrument. For this
ICR, CISA estimates that the annual number
of respondents will be 845, because CISA
only requests this information from covered
chemical facilities that undergo compliance
inspections and ship chemicals of interest
(COI). CISA completes approximately 1,920
compliance inspections per year. Of these,
approximately 44 percent of the covered
chemical facilities inspected ship COI.
Therefore, CISA estimates 845 respondents
for this instrument [= 1,920 facilities
inspected × 44 percent of facilities ship
COI].10

The commenter concluded that CISA,
based on the description provided in the
60-day notice about how the number of
respondents was derived, could be
seeking to revise the instrument and
remove the second section (i.e., Assets
at Risk).
Response: CISA is not seeking to
remove the Assets at Risk portion of the
instrument. As a result of the
commenter’s questions CISA realized
that it had omitted accounting for the
burden associated with the second
section (i.e., Assets at Risk) within the
instrument. Therefore, CISA has revised

its estimates for this instrument in Part
2 (Analysis) of this notice.
Comment: The commenter requested
information on how many facilities
provided responses to the first section
(i.e., Identification of Facilities) and the
second section (i.e., Assets at Risk) of
the ‘‘Identification of Additional
Facilities and Assets at Risk’’
instrument. The commenter also
requested the criteria CISA used to
select which facilities were requested
information under the second section of
the instrument.
Response: With respect to the first
section of the instrument (i.e.

Identification of Facilities), as discussed
in the 60-day notice, CISA collects
information under the first section of
this instrument when conducting
inspections at facilities that ship and/or
receive COI. As described in the 60-day
notice, CISA completes approximately
1,920 compliance inspections per year.
Of these, approximately 44 percent of
the covered chemical facilities
inspected ship COI. Therefore, CISA
estimates 845 facilities were asked to
identify facilities.
With respect to the second section of
the instrument (i.e., Assets at Risk), if a
covered chemical facility has identified

(10/2016–09/2017)

a cyber-related system in their Security

may request the information covered
under this instrument during
interactions that occur during: (1)
Compliance Assistance Visits, (2)
Authorization Inspections, and (3) a
Compliance Inspections.11 Since
October 2016 CISA has performed 6,453

Comment: The commenter requested
information about how many facilities
voluntarily provided information to the
first section (i.e., Identification of
Facilities) and the second section (i.e.,
Assets at Risk) of the ‘‘Identification of
Additional Facilities and Assets at Risk’’
instrument.
Response: With respect to the first
section of the instrument (i.e.
Identification of Facilities),
approximately 15 facilities provided
information that identified other
facilities. With respect to the second
section (i.e., Assets at Risk), every
facility provided information about their
assets at risk.
Comment: The commenter requested
information about whether any data
provided in the ‘‘Assets at Risk’’ section
of the instrument had not been
previously provided in an approved
facility’s site security plan (SSP).
Response: CISA has found that the
information generally collected under
the section (Assets at Risk) is not
information previously provided in an
approved facility’s SSP or ASP. The
information collected through the

second section of the instrument
generally supplements the information
provided by covered chemical facilities
in their SSP or ASP. Information
collected through this instrument is
recorded in case files created by CISA
employees outside of the SSP or ASP
(e.g., Compliance Inspection Reports).
Comment: The commenter requested
information about the outcomes from
the information collected under the first
section (i.e. Identification of Facilities)
of this instrument. Specifically: (1) How
many of the facilities identified by CISA
through information collected from the
first section of this instrument had not
previously completed a Top Screen
submission; (2) Of those previously
unidentified facilities, how many
subsequently submitted Top-Screens;
and (3) Of those previously unidentified
facilities that submitted Top Screens,
how many were subsequently identified
as being at high-risk.
Response: CISA began routinely
requesting information under the first
section (i.e., Identification of Facilities)
of this instrument in 2018. Since then
CISA approximately 15 facilities

11 This information is not covered under the SSP
because the information is not subsequently
submitted through the CSAT SSP but rather
documented by an inspector or other appropriate
employee of CISA.
12 The data element used to determine whether or
not cyber questions were explicitly asked as a part
of compliance questions CISA is whether the data
from the SVA and SSP were auto-populated in
Compliance Inspection reports. This process began
during FY2016 and thus the estimate of 1066 is an

undercount of the total questions asked during the
FY.
13 The FY19 CFATS Outreach Implementation
Plan is required by the Protecting and Securing
Chemical Facilities from Terrorist Attacks Act of
2014 (the CFATS Act of 2014), Public Law 113–254
(6 U.S.C. 621 et seq.). The CFATS Act of 2014
directed the Department of Homeland Security,
among other provisions, to establish an outreach
implementation plan in coordination with the
heads of appropriate Federal and State agencies,

responded to the request for
information, those that did respond
provided valuable data. CISA received
information on 172 facilities that had
not previously submitted Top-Screens.
CISA is currently working with those
facilities to determine if they are
required to submit a Top-Screen. As of
February 2019, from the 172 facilities
CISA has received 27 Top-Screens of
which 18 were subsequently determined
to be high-risk (i.e., 66%). CISA believes
that voluntarily supplied customer and
suppliers lists are an excellent source of
information to identify chemical
facilities of interest and covered
chemical facilities.
Comment: The commenter also asked
why this instrument was not mentioned
in the FY 2019 CFATS Outreach
Implementation Plan.13
Response: CISA did not include this
process, by which CISA could
potentially identify facilities, because of
the low response rate. CISA will
consider including it in the next
outreach plan.
relevant business associations, and public and
private stakeholders’ labor organizations in order to
identify chemical facilities of interest (CFOI) that
may be subject to regulations under CFATS and to
make available compliance assistance materials and
information on CFATS-related education and
training. The FY19 CFATS Outreach
Implementation Plan may be viewed at (https://

2. Analysis
CISA continues to rely on the analysis
and resulting burden estimates provided
in the 60-day notice for the: (1) TopScreen, (2) Security Vulnerability
Assessment (SVA) and Alternative
Security Plan (ASP) submitted in lieu of
an SVA, (3) SSP and ASP submitted in
lieu of an SSP, (4) CFATS Help Desk,
and (5) CSAT User Registration. CISA
has revised its analysis and resulting
burden estimates for the instrument,
‘‘Identification of Facilities and Assets
at Risk.’’ CISA’s analysis is described in
the next section.
CISA would also like to clarify the
scope and purpose of one aspect of the
CSAT User Registration instrument that
does not revise its burden estimate.
Specifically, that CISA uses the
Authorizer role in CSAT to send official
correspondence.
3. CISA’S Methodology in Estimating
the Burden for Identification of
Additional Facilities and Assets at Risk
Number of Respondents
The current information collection
estimated that each year 211
respondents would respond to this
instrument. In the 60-day notice, CISA
estimated that the annual number of
respondents to be 845. As a result of
public comment CISA has revised its
estimate in this notice from 845 to
3,426. This revised estimate is based
upon the sum of 845 respondents for the
first section of this instrument (see 60day notice for the basis of this estimate)
and 2,581 respondents for the second
section of this instrument. CISA
estimated 2,581 respondents for the
second section by annualizing the
number of interactions described earlier
in this notice since October of 2016 (i.e.,
2,581 = [6,453 respondents over a 2.5
year time span/2.5 years]).

jbell on DSK3GLQ082PROD with NOTICES

Estimated Time per Respondent
In the current information collection,
the estimated time per respondent is
0.17 hours (10 minutes). CISA believes
that this estimate is reasonable for either
the first or the second section of the
instrument. Therefore, in this ICR, CISA
maintains this estimate.
Annual Burden Hours
The annual burden estimate is 571
hours [ = 3,426 respondents × 1
response per respondent × 0.17 hours
per respondent].
Total Annual Burden Cost
CISA assumes that SSOs will be
responsible for providing this
information. Therefore, to estimate the
total annual burden, CISA multiplied

VerDate Sep<11>2014

16:24 May 06, 2019

Jkt 247001

the annual burden of 571 hours by the
average hourly compensation rate of
SSOs. The total annual burden for the
Identification of Additional Facilities
and Assets at Risk is $45,505 [ = 571
annual burden hours × $79.69 per hour].
Total Burden Cost (Capital/Startup)
In the current information collection,
CISA estimated a one-time capital cost
would be incurred by 3,000 respondents
as a result of the CSAT 2.0
implementation. These capital costs
were one-time costs for respondents and
therefore have been removed from this
information collection.
Total Recordkeeping Burden
There is no recordkeeping burden for
this instrument.
Public Participation
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).
