Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) Hydrogen Peroxide Flyer
CFATS Announcement
As of July 28, 2023, Congress has allowed the statutory authority for the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) program (6 CFR Part 27) to expire.
Therefore, CISA cannot enforce compliance with the CFATS regulations at this time. This means that CISA will not require facilities to report their chemicals of interest or submit any information in CSAT, perform inspections, or provide CFATS compliance assistance, amongst other activities. CISA can no longer require facilities to implement their CFATS Site Security Plan or CFATS Alternative Security Program.
CISA encourages facilities to maintain security measures. CISA’s voluntary ChemLock resources are available on the ChemLock webpages.
If CFATS is reauthorized, CISA will follow up with facilities in the future. To reach us, please contact CFATS@hq.dhs.gov.
This flyer is a resource to ensure facilities are aware that hydrogen peroxide at a concentration of 35 percent or higher is a chemical of interest (COI) under the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) program. Any individual or facility that possesses 400 lb or more of a chemical mixture in which the concentration of hydrogen peroxide is 35 percent higher and is contained in transportation packaging must report their chemicals to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA).
Please download, print, and distribute this flyer as a resource to increase awareness of the CFATS program.
