DHS Standards DHS lacks statutory authority to issue standards except in
limited legacy programs (US Coast Guard, CFR) and recent legislation for security at chemical facilities (CFATS)
DHS will leverage expertise and resources of our partners at NIST and in the private sector standards communities to develop voluntary consensus standards
– Private Sector Standards Development (ANSI)– Interagency Standards Coordination (ICSP)– White House standards activities (NSTC)– Intra-agency Standards Coordination (DHS Standards Council)
5
DHS Standards Policy Title 6, United States Code (U.S.C.), Section 112(g),
“Secretary; functions”STANDARDS POLICY.—All standards activities of the Department shall be conducted in accordance with section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) and Office of Management and Budget Circular A–119.
Increases the federal governments reliance on private sector standards “as a means to carry out policy objectives or activities determined by the agencies and departments.”
OMB Circular A-119 – focuses on regulation and procurements
6
Implementing the Policy Appointed a Standards Executive Approved a Management Directive
Establishes DHS National Standards and an adoption process
Identifies and manages Voluntary Consensus Standards as means to support key DHS policy objectives, e.g., national preparedness
Established a coordinating council – DHS Standards Council Provides a forum to exchange information between
components Provides exposure to the activities of the standards
development organizations (SDOs)
7
Implementing the Policy Annual Report to OMB on the use of VCS and Conformity
Assessment Basis of the DHS Standards Council Annual
Report Ensuring effective use and consistent use of VCS
Guidance document on participating in the development and use of non-government standards
Required by OMB Circular A-119 Distributed by the Deputy Sec in 2008
8
Identifies existing consensus standards, or, if none exist, assists DHS and those sectors requesting assistance to accelerate development and adoption of consensus standards critical to homeland security.
ANSI-HSSP promotes a positive, cooperative partnership between the public and private sectors in order to meet the needs of the nation in this critical area.

Biometrics (INCITS M1, ISO)
Wildland fire mitigation (NFPA)
Chemical detection systems (ASTM)
Explosives detection systems (ASTM, IEEE)
Private Sector Preparedness Standards (DHS & ANSI HSSP)
Some Highlights for Standards in 2009
11
Standards for Biometrics Standards for biometric sample quality
improve the integrity of biometric databases and enhance the use and exchange of data between federal agencies
10 ISO/INCITS standards for face, finger and iris quality, fusion and interchange
Usability guidelines for biometric systems that enhance performance (throughput and quality), improve user satisfaction and acceptance
Conformity assessment program for biometrics test laboratories - NIST NVLAP Handbook 150-25
variant 2-1
variant 2-2 variant 2-3 variant 2-4
variant 2-5
12
Structural Ignition in Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) Fires Working with NIST, US Forest
Service (DOI), ASTM, NFPA and CALFIRE and Japan BRI
Standards for firebrand (ember) resistance for roofing materials
Quantifying the Vulnerabilities of Ceramic Tile Roofing Assemblies to Ignition during a Firebrand Attack with CALFIRE
Controlled burn/firebrand generation experiments in wind tunnels
Portable instrumentation developed for studies of actual firebrands in forest fires
13
Standards for Chemical Threat Detection
Interagency collaboration on standards and test methods
DHS, DOD, EPA NIST leadership on chemical
measurements Unified approach will provide
consistent, better guidance to users
ASTM standards for Chemical Warfare Agent (CWAs) & Toxic Industrial Chemicals (TICs)
DHS OHA will manage a fee-for-service program (DeTER)
14
Standards for Explosives Detection Trace Detection of Explosives:
Standards, standard sampling/swab methods, reference materials. Training protocols
Bulk Detection of Explosives: Image standards, test objects
for scanning systems Standoff Detection
Performance standards Canine Detection:
Unique cross government collaboration on analysis and standardization of canine detection and performance

ANSI HSSP and the Private Sector Emergency Preparedness Initiative
ANSI participated in roundtable event sponsored by Greater NY Safety Council September 10, 2003 – “Private Sector Preparedness” Attended by NYC businesses, NFPA, as well as 9-11 Commission
ANSI attended 9-11 Commission hearing on “Emergency Preparedness” November 19, 2003 at Drew University in Madison, New Jersey Initial off-line discussion on role ANSI could play in this area
Following meetings with 9-11 Commission and Chairman of Working Group on Private Sector Preparedness (PSP-WG), and discussion with ANSI-HSSP Co-Chairs, ANSI HSSP launches a series of workshops on “Private Sector Emergency Preparedness and Business Continuity”
16
First ANSI-HSSP Workshop – January 28, 2004 in NYC Attended by 50 safety, security and crisis management experts
representing more than 25 diverse industry, government and organizational bodies
Following discussion of existing standards, guidelines and best practices, participants gave their support for using NFPA 1600 as base document (with further evolution needed)
Subgroups formed to examine specific issues (biggest being updated appendices and performing gap analysis)
PSP-WG to explore incentives for compliance, as well as marketing, promotion and education
17
Second Workshop – February 27, 2004 in NYC
Reviewed progress of subgroups and had further breakout sessions
Reconfirmed support for NFPA 1600, with multiple areas for updating/revision to be sent to NFPA 1600 Committee
Agreed that further outreach needed (sectors that may not have reviewed the standard) prior to submission of recommendation to 9-11 Commission
Third Workshop - March 22, 2004 in NYC
Heard final reports from subgroups
Finalized text to be submitted to the 9-11 Commission and to the NFPA 1600 Technical Committee
18
The second ANSI-HSSP Plenary meeting was held on April 29-30, 2004.
At a reception held at the conclusion of day 1 Dr. Mark Hurwitz, President and CEO of ANSI, presented the recommendation from the ANSI workshop on private sector emergency preparedness and business continuity to Mr. Lee Hamilton, Vice Chairman of the 9-11 Commission.
