Tuesday, Feb 20 (tomorrow, for most of you) I will be
presenting a one-hour web seminar on the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) and their
linkage to Pollution Prevention.
See the short summary below for more information.
There are still a few slots available if you wish to
participate in the call.
If interested, please contact Jeff Burke at NPPR, contact

Director, ChemAlliance, will present a webinar on the
following: In November 2007, the US Department of Homeland Security
issued the final release of the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards, or
CFATS. This regulation will require an estimated 50,000 facilities across
the US to submit data regarding their inventories of specific hazardous
chemicals to DHS prior to January 22, 2008. As many as 7,000 facilities
are expected to be classified as elevated risk by DHS, triggering requirements
for additional facility security plans to be developed and implemented at each
facility. Although the CFATS regulation itself is essentially silent on
the role that inherently safer/cleaner technology can play in minimizing the
risks posed by hazardous chemicals, the CFATS regulation nonetheless provides an
additional tool for pollution prevention advocates to use in engaging
industry. This presentation will provide a review of the CFATS regulation,
and discuss the linkage between chemical facility security and such "green"
process technologies as process intensification, microscale chemical processing,
and green chemistry. If interested in participating, please reply for log-in
instructions. Jeffrey J.
