In anticipation of the finalized Appendix A to be published by Homeland
Security (probably sooner rather than later), have any of you
established a method for the assessment procedure?

Specifically-

1. Will EH & S oversee it, solely?
2. Will it be a simple process of simply putting out a request to all
owners of chemicals to submit a list of the chemicals on their inventory
which match & meet the threshold level?  And then having one office fill
out the final form?
3. Have you formally designated the roles (see below) of the Responsible
Parties as established by DHS?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(From DHS web site)    In completing the user access request form, your
facility must designate Preparer(s), Submitter(s), and Authorizer(s).

The Preparer is authorized to enter the required data into the CSAT
on-line screening tool (but is not authorized to formally submit the
data on the company's behalf) and should therefore be a qualified
individual familiar with the facility in question. The Preparer must
also be domiciled in the U.S. 
The Submitter is the individual certified by the company or corporation
to formally submit the regulatory required data to the Department. The
Submitter must be domiciled in the U.S. and must also be an Officer of
the Corporation or designated by an Officer of the Corporation. To gain
user access, each Preparer and each Submitter require the signature of
an "Authorizer."  
The Authorizer is empowered by the facility parent company to provide
assurance that the user account request for the Preparer and Submitter
is valid. The Authorizer must also be domiciled in the U.S. and an
Officer of the Corporation or designated by an Officer of the
Corporation.
