Abstract: The instrument will be used to allow individuals to become CVI Authorized Users and access historical records generated under the CFATS program. Prior to the lapse in CFATS authority, completion of the application to obtain CVI Authorized User status required an individual to check several CVI affirmation statements, complete a web- based CVI authorized user application, and provide responses to several identity verification questions. Upon completion of the application, the system assigned a unique CVI Authorization Number to the individual and transmitted that number to the individual. CISA maintains a record of those individuals who have completed the training and received a CVI Authorized User Number.
