Thursday, President Obama signed into law, HR 4007,  the "Protecting and Securing Chemical Facilities from Terrorist Attacks Act of 2014.”  This legislation establishes in statute DHS's Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards program and authorizes DHS to administer the program for a period of four years.  The statute contains provisions to reduce duplication and redundancy in the program’s Personnel Security Program.  This is a milestone victory for IME.
