The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has extended the deadline for submission of the Security Vulnerability Assessment (SVA), or for an Alternative Security Program (ASP) in lieu of an SVA, for low-risk chemical facilities (Tier 4) to January 12, 2009. The deadline was originally set for December 31, 2008.
If facilities defined as Tier 4 have already submitted an SVA or ASP, they do not need to take any further action at this time, according to the DHS information. The DHS help desk can be e-mailed at [email protected] or by calling 866-323-2957.
