Common use of Overall Security Responsibility Clause in Contracts

Overall Security Responsibility. DHS is responsible for regulating security at high-risk chemical facilities under the CFATS rule. Facilities, or portions of facilities, that are subject to NRC regulations are exempt from the CFATS rule if they are identified within, or fall within, the categories identified in Section 6(a) or Section 6(b) of this MOU. DHS and the NRC acknowledge that a facility that is subject to NRC regulations could contain areas that are not subject to NRC regulations and that such areas, as determined by the parties under Section 6(b) of this MOU, may be subject to DHS regulations under CFATS. An example of such a situation might be the campus of a large institution, such as a university, which contains a structure that houses a research and test reactor subject to NRC regulations.
