Natural Gas Council Letter in Support of H.R. 4470, the Protecting and Securing Chemical Facilities from Terrorist Attacks Act of 2023

Dear Majority Leader Schumer, Speaker Johnson, and Leaders McConnell and Jeffries,

The Natural Gas Council, on behalf of the individuals and companies who produce, transport, and deliver natural gas across the nation, urges Congress to enact H.R. 4470, the Protecting and Securing Chemical Facilities from Terrorist Attacks Act of 2023. Importantly, this proposal would reauthorize for two years the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) program, which plays a crucial role in ensuring the security of the United States’ critical infrastructure.
