These are the statutes, regulations, and notices regarding the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) regulatory program.

Facilities determined to be high-risk are assigned a tier and are required to meet and maintain certain performance-based security standards appropriate to the chemicals of interest these facilities possess and the risks they pose.
