Title:
Risk
Management
Program
Requirements
and
Petitions
to
Modify
the
List
of
Regulated
Substances
under
Section
112(
r)
of
the
Clean
Air
Act
(
Renewal)

Abstract:
The
1990
CAA
Amendments
added
section
112(
r)
to
provide
for
the
prevention
and
mitigation
of
accidental
releases.
Section
112(
r)
mandates
that
EPA
promulgate
a
list
of
"
regulated
substances,"
with
threshold
quantities
and
establish
procedures
for
the
addition
and
deletion
of
substances
from
the
list
of
"
regulated
substances."
Processes
at
stationary
sources
that
contain
a
threshold
quantity
of
a
regulated
substance
are
subject
to
accidental
release
prevention
regulations
promulgated
under
CAA
section
112(
r)(
7).
These
two
rules
are
codified
as
40
CFR
part
68.
Part
68
requires
that
sources
with
more
than
a
threshold
quantity
of
a
regulated
substance
in
a
process
develop
and
implement
a
risk
management
program
and
submit
a
risk
management
plan
(
RMP)
to
EPA.
The
compliance
schedule
for
the
part
68
requirements
was
established
by
rule
on
June
20,
1996.
Burden
to
sources
that
are
currently
covered
by
part
68,
for
initial
rule
compliance,
including
rule
familiarization
and
program
implementation
were
accounted
for
in
ICR
1656.03.
Sources
submitted
their
first
RMPs
on
June
21,
1999.
The
next
compliance
4
deadline
was
June
21,
2004,
five
years
after
the
first
submission.
Some
of
the
sources
revised
and
submitted
their
RMPs
between
the
mandatory
deadlines.
These
sources
were
then
assigned
a
five­
year
compliance
deadline
based
on
the
date
of
their
revised
plan
submission.
The
next
submission
of
RMPs
for
all
sources
is
by
June
21,
2009.
The
period
covered
by
this
ICR
is
between
the
two
mandatory
deadlines
(
2004
and
2009).
Therefore,
in
this
ICR,
EPA
has
accounted
for
only
on­
going
program
implementation
costs
for
all
sources
that
are
currently
covered
by
part
68
requirements,
compliance
costs
for
new
sources
that
may
become
subject
to
the
regulations,
and
burden
for
sources
that
re­
submit
RMPs
before
the
next
compliance
deadline.

An
agency
may
not
conduct
or
sponsor,
and
a
person
is
not
required
to
respond
to,
a
collection
of
information
unless
it
displays
a
currently
valid
OMB
control
number.
The
OMB
control
numbers
for
EPA's
regulations
in
40
CFR
are
listed
in
40
CFR
part
9
and
are
identified
on
the
form
and/
or
instrument,
if
applicable.

Burden
Statement:
The
public
reporting
burden
will
depend
on
the
regulatory
program
tier
into
which
sources
are
categorized.
In
this
ICR,
the
public
reporting
burden
for
rule
familiarization
for
new
sources
is
estimated
to
range
from
20
to
40
hours
per
source.
The
public
reporting
burden
to
prepare
and
submit
a
RMP
for
new
sources
is
estimated
to
range
from
10
to
30
hours.
The
public
reporting
burden
for
new
sources
to
develop
prevention
programs
is
estimated
to
range
from
70
to
95
hours
per
source.
The
public
reporting
burden
for
CBI
claims
is
estimated
to
be
9.5
hours
per
source.
Burden
for
RMP
revisions
is
estimated
to
range
from
10
to
40
hours
per
source.
The
public
record
keeping
burden
to
maintain
on­
site
documentation
for
currently
covered
sources
is
estimated
to
range
from
3
hours
to
146
hours.
The
total
annual
5
public
reporting
burden
for
new
sources
to
become
familiar
with
the
rule,
develop
and
submit
a
RMP,
develop
prevention
program,
substantiate
claims
for
confidential
business
information,

submit
revised
RMPs,
and
develop
on­
site
documentation
for
existing
sources
is
about
92,442
hours
(
277,326
hours
over
three
years).
The
total
annual
burden
estimated
for
15
states
that
may
be
implementing
a
Part
68
program
is
6,157
hours
(
18,471
hours
for
three
years).
Therefore,
the
total
annual
burden
for
all
sources
and
states
is
estimated
to
be
98,599
hours
(
295,797
hours
for
three
years).

Burden
means
the
total
time,
effort,
or
financial
resources
expended
by
persons
to
generate,
maintain,
retain,
or
disclose
or
provide
information
to
or
for
a
Federal
agency.
This
includes
the
time
needed
to
review
instructions;
develop,
acquire,
install,
and
utilize
technology
and
systems
for
the
purposes
of
collecting,
validating,
and
verifying
information,
processing
and
maintaining
information,
and
disclosing
and
providing
information;
adjust
the
existing
ways
to
comply
with
any
previously
applicable
instructions
and
requirements;
train
personnel
to
be
able
to
respond
to
a
collection
of
information;
search
data
sources;
complete
and
review
the
collection
of
information;
and
transmit
or
otherwise
disclose
the
information.

Respondents/
Affected
Entities:
Chemical
manufacturers,
petroleum
refineries,
water
treatment
systems,
non­
chemical
manufacturers,
etc.

Estimated
Number
of
Respondents:
1,397,
including
state
implementing
agencies
Frequency
of
Response:
Every
five
years,
unless
the
facilities
need
to
update
their
previous
submission
Estimated
Total
Annual
Hour
Burden:
98,599
hours
Estimated
Total
Annual
Cost:
$
3,582,614,
which
includes
$
0
annualized
capital,
6
$
6,910
O&
M
costs,
and
$
3,575,704
Respondent
Labor
costs.

Changes
in
the
Estimates:
There
is
a
decrease
of
32,204
hours
in
the
total
estimated
burden
currently
identified
in
the
OMB
Inventory
of
Approved
ICR
Burdens.
This
decrease
is
mainly
due
to
the
RMP
submission
schedule.
The
last
submission
of
RMPs
by
all
sources
was
in
June
2004.
The
next
compliance
deadline
is
June
2009,
which
is
after
this
ICR
period.
This
ICR
only
accounts
for
compliance
burden
for
new
sources
that
may
become
subject
to
the
regulations,

any
revised
RMP
that
may
be
submitted
by
existing
sources,
and
on­
site
documentation
for
existing
sources.
The
burden
may
increase
in
the
next
ICR
renewal
since
the
next
deadline
for
all
sources
to
submit
RMPs
will
fall
within
the
next
ICR
period.
