ADDRESSES:
The Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism
Standards (CFATS), 6 CFR Part 27,
require high-risk chemical facilities to
submit personally identifiable
information (PII) from facility personnel
and, as appropriate, unescorted visitors
with access to restricted areas or critical
assets at those facilities. This PII will be
screened against the consolidated and
integrated terrorist watch list
maintained by the Federal Government
in the Terrorist Screening Database
(TSDB) to identify known or suspected
terrorists (i.e., individuals with terrorist
ties).
High-risk chemical facilities must also
perform other relevant background
checks in compliance with CFATS
Personnel Surety risk-based
performance standard (RBPS) #12. See 6
CFR 27.230(a)(12)(i–iii) (covered
facilities must ‘‘perform appropriate
background checks … including (i)
Measures designed to verify and
validate identity; (ii) Measures designed
to check criminal history; [and] (iii)
Measures designed to verify and
validate legal authorization to work’’).
The CFATS Personnel Surety Program is
not intended to halt, hinder, or replace
high-risk chemical facilities’
performance of background checks
currently required for employment or
access to secure areas of those facilities.
Background
On October 4, 2006, the President
signed the Department of Homeland
Security Appropriations Act of 2007
(the Act), Public Law 109–295. Section
550 of the Act provides the Department
of Homeland Security (DHS) with the
authority to regulate the security of
high-risk chemical facilities.
Section 550 requires that DHS’s
regulations establish risk-based
performance standards. RBPS #12 (6
CFR 27.230(a)(12)) requires that
regulated chemical facilities implement
‘‘measures designed to identify people
PO 00000
Frm 00051
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

with terrorist ties.’’ The ability to
identify individuals with terrorist ties
requires use of information held in
Government-maintained databases.
Therefore, DHS is implementing the
CFATS Personnel Surety Program
which will allow chemical facilities to
comply with RBPS #12 to implement
‘‘measures designed to identify people
with terrorist ties.’’
Overview of CFATS Personnel Surety
Process
The CFATS Personnel Surety Program
identifies individuals with terrorist ties
by comparing PII submitted by each
high-risk chemical facility to the PII of
known or suspected terrorists on the
consolidated and integrated terrorist
watch list maintained by the Federal
Government in the TSDB.
The representative(s) of each high-risk
chemical facility with access to the
Chemical Security Assessment Tool
(CSAT), the online data collection portal
for CFATS, will submit PII of affected
individuals to the CFATS Personnel
Surety Program via CSAT. The PII to be
submitted is the data needed by DHS to
conduct screening against the
consolidated and integrated terrorist
watch list in the TSDB. Upon receipt of
each affected individual’s PII, the
CFATS Personnel Surety Program will
send a copy of the PII to the
Transportation Security Administration
(TSA). TSA will compare the PII
provided by the CFATS Personnel
Surety Program and the PII of known
and suspected terrorists on the
consolidated and integrated terrorist
watch list in the TSDB. TSA will
forward the results from all matches to
the Terrorist Screening Center (TSC),
which will make a final determination
of whether an individual is, or is not, a
match to an individual in the TSDB.
In the event that there is a positive
match, the TSC will notify the
appropriate Federal law enforcement
agency for coordination, investigative
action, and/or response.
For positive matches, the TSC may
contact the Federal agency that
nominated the individual to be listed on
the consolidated and integrated terrorist
watch list in the TSDB for further
details regarding the reasons for
nominating the individual.
DHS will not provide screening
results to high-risk chemical facilities
nor to the individuals whose PII is
submitted by high-risk chemical
facilities. As warranted, high-risk
chemical facilities may be contacted by
Federal law enforcement as a part of
appropriate law enforcement
investigation activity. (See the FBI
