Burden increases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Cutting Redundancy

Short Statement: Adjustment Change Decrease in the average annual burden as a result of a change in the agency estimates after a review of the historical data collected from January 2012 to December 2014. Program Change Increase in the startup cost. Revised CSAT User Management will enable Au-thorizers and/or individuals designated by the Authorizer to easily add additional facilities and/or additional CSAT user accounts under the Authorizers CSAT structure. The Department expects that there will be a one-time burden for all existing CSAT Users when the CSAT User Manage-ment application is updated. Section 2102(e)(2) of the Homeland Security Act of 2002, as amended, mandates the use of an improved tiering methodology that incorporates the relevant elements of risk. As a result of the development of the new tiering methodology a revised Top Screen must be incorporated. The Department may request chemical facilities that have chemical holdings at or above the screening threshold quantities on Appendix A of CFATS to complete the Top-Screen, even if the facility has previously completed a Top-Screen and been determined not to be high-risk. Program Change Decrease in the average annual burden for the revised SVA/ASP. The revised SVA/ASP will (1) have duplicative questions removed that exist in the SSP/ASP, (2) a few ques-tions will be moved to the Top-Screen to support the improved tiering methodology, and (3) the attack scenarios and related questions will also be removed. Program Change Decrease in the average annual burden for the revised SSP/ASP. The revised SSP/ASP will (1) have duplicative and unnecessary questions removed that exist in the SVA/ASP (e.g., questions related to asset identification in the SSP) and import relevant answers from the SVA/ASP, and (2) reorganize the SSP/ASP questions in a streamlined process based upon the Department’s experience with respondents over the past several years. The reorganization of SSP/ASP questions will allow the Department to also remove repetitive questions.
