 The American Chemistry Council (ACC) is dedicated to supporting
companies in the chemical business as well as ensuring modern
products are safe for consumers. Recently, the ACC showed its
support for legislation aimed at extending the Chemical Facility
Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) program by 15 months.
The ACC said the CFATS program safeguards its members’ facilities,
and vowed to continue its longtime support of the program. In a
public statement, the ACC said regulatory certainty, such as that
outlined in the CFATS program, is vital to maintaining safe chemical
facilities and communities.
