Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) Receiving a Chemical of Interest (COI) 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 can be used as a voluntary tool by facilities when shipping, selling, or distributing a Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) chemical of interest (COI) to notify customers that they may need to report their chemical holdings to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA).
Please download, print, and distribute this document as a resource to increase awareness of the CFATS program to new segments of the population who hold COI.
