Directs chemical sources not in high-priority categories to certify completion of such assessments and implementation of such plans.</p> <p>Requires the Secretary, in promulgating regulations and establishing procedures, protocols, and standards for such assessments and plans, to consider specified factors, including the likelihood that a chemical source will be the target of terrorism and the potential scope of injury. Authorizes the Secretary to: (1) designate or exempt certain categories of stationary sources as chemical sources; and (2) designate, exempt, and adjust threshold quantities of substances of concern.</p> <p>Establishes a five-year assessment and plan review requirement for chemical sources not in high-priority categories.
