Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS)

As of July 28, 2023, Congress allowed the statutory authority for the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) program (6 CFR Part 27) to expire. However, many forward-thinking organizations continue to maintain rigorous security protocols aligned with its principles.

Having successfully submitted and secured Department of Homeland Security approval for hundreds of documents on behalf of clients, BPS helps you meet DHS requirements to protect chemicals of interest (COIs) against security threats. 

BPS can assess your recurring program requirements such as:
