Temporary CFATS Extension

On September 29, 2010, Congress passed a stopgap spending bill (H.R. 3081) that ensures the federal government has funding to continue operating through 2010 until Congress returns from recess following the midterm elections. As part of the bill, the CFATS program was temporarily extended in its current form for two months (through December 3, 2010). Once Congress returns, it is expected that CFATS will again be extended for one year.
