The Department of Homeland Security published in today’s Federal Register its final list of chemicals with potential terrorist uses. Colleges now have 60 days to inventory the chemicals in their laboratories and submit the results to an online federal database called Top Screen.
The department made the list public more than two weeks ago, but today’s notice starts the countdown.
Laboratories that do not comply with the deadline could face fines or closure. The rules allow facilities to request 60-day extensions. —JJ Hermes
