Short Statement: Section 550 required the Department to promulgate interim final regulations no later than six months from the date of enactment of the statute (i.e., April 4, 2007). Due to that short statutory deadline, the CSAT applications and information collections are in different development stages. In early March, when DHS submitted the IFR to OMB, only two of the collections (User Registration and Top-Screen) were ready for PRA review. As of mid-May, four of the collections (Helpdesk, User Registration, Top-Screen, and Chemical-terrorism Vulnerability Information Authorization) were sufficiently complete for PRA review. As of early July two additional collections are sufficiently complete for PRA review: (1) the Security Vulnerability Assessment and industry-created and provided Alternative Security Program submitted in lieu of the Security Vulnerability Assessment, and (2) the Site Security Plan or the industry-provided Alternative Security Program submitted in lieu of the Site Security Plan.
