NACD Commends Joint Letter to Congressional Leadership on Importance of CFATS

The National Association of Chemical Distributors (NACD) applauds the Chemical Sector Coordinating Council, the Emergency Services Sector Coordinating Council, and the National Sheriffs’ Association for sending a letter to congressional leadership underscoring the importance of the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Security (CFATS) program to local communities following Congress’ failure to reauthorize this critical program by July 27, 2023.

The letter highlights the important role of the CFATS program in coordinating and maintaining collaborative relationships with local law enforcement and first responders to further protect chemical sites and communities from a range of threats.
