As of July 23, 2020, National Association of Chemical Distributors (NACD) announced the passage of legislation reauthorizing the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) program for three years.

This program is an integral part of the chemical distribution industry, “ensuring high-risk facilities work with DHS regulators to put measures in place that protect against potential acts of terrorism.” said President Eric R. Byer of NACD.

This program has given chemical distributors the ability to plan for needed security investments at their facilities, which is good for business and for keeping our communities safe.
