Infrastructure Protection

Kentucky’s local communities are the lifeblood and spirit of this Commonwealth. In them, they support the state’s widespread commercial infrastructure which features two major international airports, the production of approximately 15% of the nation’s electricity, key interstate highways that run through over two-third’s of Kentucky’s counties, and several large shipping hubs. In partnership with our many federal, state and local partners, the Kentucky Office of Homeland Security is working to identify and assess risk and the vulnerability of critical infrastructure and key assets throughout the Commonwealth.

With the publication of a final Appendix A, all provisions of 6 CFR Part 27, including § 27.210(a)(1)(i), are operative and in effect. The deadline in the Chemical Facilities Anti-Terrorism Standard (CFATS) interim final rule for submission of “Top Screens” required by 6 CFR § 27.210(a)(1)(i) will be 60 calendar days from the date of publication of Appendix A in the Federal Register.
