SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
On August 1, 2013, President Obama issued EO 13650 to improve
chemical facility safety and security. The Working Group charged with
implementing the EO is co-chaired by DHS, DOL, and EPA, and includes
participation from the Departments of Justice, Agriculture, and
Transportation, all of whom play a role in chemical facility safety
measures. The Working Group gathered concerns, comments, feedback,
suggestions, and best practices from stakeholders over the course of
several Webinars and listening sessions which culminated in a Report to
the President released in May 2014, as well as an Action Plan contained
therein.
The Working Group has made significant progress on the
implementation of the Action Plan since the release of the report by
initiating community planning preparedness measures, increasing Federal
coordination, improving data management techniques and technology,
revising regulations, issuing guidance and advisory documents, and
creating a best practices repository, among other initiatives.
II. Scope of Webinar
The purpose of this Webinar is to update stakeholders and the
public on progress made on action items since the June 6, 2014 release
of "Executive Order [EO] 13650: Actions to Improving Chemical Facility
Safety and Security--A Shared Commitment", and to raise awareness of
the EO 13650 Working Group Web site, located at: www.osha.gov/chemicalexecutiveorder/.
We encourage participation from the broad range of stakeholders who
have an interest in chemical facility safety and security to include,
but not limited to, chemical producers, chemical storage companies,
agricultural supply companies, State and local regulators, chemical
critical infrastructure owners and operators, first responders, labor
organizations representing affected workers, environmental and
community groups, and consensus standards organizations.
III. Public Participation
This Webinar will accommodate over 600 participants. As time
permits, participants will be able to ask questions on a first-come
first-served basis. We will do our best to accommodate all persons who
wish to ask questions during the session. We request that participants
refrain from making statements, and use this time to ask questions.
Should time run out, participants may submit questions or statements
to: eo.chemical@hq.dhs.gov.
