On April 9, 2007, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS). Congress authorized these interim final regulations (IFR) under Section 550 of the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act of 2007, directing the Department to identify, assess, and ensure effective security at high risk chemical facilities. The IFR also creates and explains Chemical-terrorism Vulnerability Information (CVI), a new category of protected information. CVI was adopted and designed to protect information about facility security operations that could be exploited by terrorists.
 High Risk Chemical Facilities Regulations Released
The Department released an interim final rule that imposes comprehensive federal security regulations for high risk chemical facilities. "The safety and security measures that we take need to be tough and balanced," said Secretary Michael Chertoff. "We will significantly reduce vulnerability at high-consequence chemical facilities, taking into account important efforts in certain state.”
