DHS Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards

The Department of Homeland Security has issued a regulation entitled "Chemical Facilities Anti-Terrorism Standards" (CFATS). This rule applies to all entities that possess certain hazardous chemicals and is intended to prevent the intentional misuse of these chemicals via theft, sabotage, or attack. The regulation requires subject facilities to estimate the types and quantities of the chemicals on hand, and, in some cases, to develop site security plans and measures, perform training and drills, and maintain records. The Final Rule requires that University of Kentucky laboratories and non-laboratories collect and submit chemical inventories for a list of chemicals called Chemicals of Interest (COI).

All COIs, including those present in a mixture, are required to be submitted. However, only COIs in a mixture at a concentration equal to or greater than ten percent (10%) by weight are required to be submitted.

The following six COIs have exceptions and are required to be submitted if the associated minimum concentrations are present:

Chlorine CAS# 7782505 - 9.77%
Nitric oxide CAS# 10102439 - 3.83%
Phosgene CAS# 75445 - 0.17%
Phosphine CAS# 7803512 - 0.67%
Phosphorus trichloride CAS# 2125683 - 3.48%
Sulfur tetrafluoride CAS# 7783600 - 1.33%
