already in place and to allow facilities
to employ a wide range of tailored
measures to satisfy the regulations’ RiskBased Performance Standards.
In 6 CFR 27.400, CFATS also
establishes the requirements that
covered persons must follow to
safeguard certain documents and other
information developed under the
regulations. This information is
