| 2019-25974 | Accidental Release Prevention Requirements: Risk Management Programs Under the Clean Air Act | Rule | The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is revising regulations that are designed to reduce the risk of accidental releases of hazardous chemicals. These regulations are part of the EPA's Risk Management Program (RMP), which the Agency established under authority in the Clean Air Act and recently amended on January 13, 2017. After a process of reconsidering several parts of the 2017 rule, EPA has concluded that a better approach is to improve the performance of a subset of facilities by achieving greater compliance with RMP regulations instead of imposing additional regulatory requirements on the larger population of facilities that is generally performing well in preventing accidental releases. For this and other reasons, EPA is rescinding recent amendments to these regulations that we no longer consider reasonable or practicable relating to safer technology and alternatives analyses, third-party audits, incident investigations, information availability, and several other minor regulatory changes. EPA is also modifying regulations relating to local emergency coordination, emergency response exercises, and public meetings. In addition, the Agency is changing compliance dates for some of these provisions. | 2019-12-19 | 2019 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2019/12/19/2019-25974/accidental-release-prevention-requirements-risk-management-programs-under-the-clean-air-act | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2019-12-19/pdf/2019-25974.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is revising regulations that are designed to reduce the risk of accidental releases of hazardous chemicals.
