SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Fracturing Responsibility and 
Awareness of Chemicals Act'' or the ``FRAC Act''.

SEC. 2. REGULATION OF HYDRAULIC FRACTURING.

    (a) Underground Injection.--Section 1421(d) of the Safe Drinking 
Water Act (42 U.S.C. 300h(d)) is amended by striking paragraph (1) and 
inserting the following:
            ``(1) Underground injection.--
                    ``(A) In general.--The term `underground injection' 
                means the subsurface emplacement of fluids by well 
                injection.
                    ``(B) Inclusion.--The term `underground injection' 
                includes the underground injection of fluids or 
                propping agents pursuant to hydraulic fracturing 
                operations relating to oil or natural gas production 
                activities.
                    ``(C) Exclusion.--The term `underground injection' 
                does not include the underground injection of natural 
                gas for the purpose of storage.''.
    (b) State Primary Enforcement Relating to Hydraulic Fracturing 
Operations.--Section 1422 of the Safe Drinking Water Act (42 U.S.C. 
300h-1) is amended by adding at the end the following:
    ``(f) Hydraulic Fracturing Operations.--
            ``(1) In general.--Consistent with such regulations as the 
        Administrator may prescribe, a State may seek primary 
        enforcement responsibility for hydraulic fracturing operations 
        for oil and natural gas without seeking to assume primary 
        enforcement responsibility for other types of underground 
        injection control wells, including underground injection 
        control wells that inject brine or other fluids that are 
        brought to the surface in connection with oil and natural gas 
        production or any underground injection for the secondary or 
        tertiary recovery of oil or natural gas.
            ``(2) Administration.--
                    ``(A) In general.--Paragraph (1) shall not apply 
                until the date that is 1 year after the date on which 
                the Administrator publishes in the Federal Register any 
                regulations promulgated under that paragraph.
                    ``(B) Effect on administrator.--Nothing in this 
                subsection affects the authority of the Administrator 
                to approve State programs that assume primary 
                enforcement responsibility for only certain types of 
                underground injection control wells.''.

Fracturing Responsibility and Awareness of Chemicals Act or FRAC Act - Amends the Safe Drinking Water Act to repeal the exemption from restrictions on underground injection of fluids or propping agents granted to hydraulic fracturing operations relating to oil and natural gas production activities under such Act.  Amends the Safe Drinking Water Act to allow the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to prescribe regulations that authorize a state, one year after such regulations are promulgated, to seek primary enforcement responsibility for hydraulic fracturing operations for oil and natural gas without seeking to assume primary enforcement responsibility for other types of underground injection control wells, including underground injection control wells that inject brine or other fluids that are brought to the surface in connection with oil and natural gas production or any underground injection for the secondary or tertiary recovery of oil or natural gas. Requires: (1) state underground injection programs to direct a person conducting hydraulic fracturing operations to disclose to the state (or the Administrator if the Administrator has primary enforcement responsibility in such state) the chemicals and proppants intended for use in underground injections before the commencement of such operations and the chemicals actually used after the end of such operations; and (2) a state or the Administrator to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the disclosed information and make it available to the public. Requires the applicable person using hydraulic fracturing, when a medical emergency exists and the proprietary chemical formula of a chemical used in such hydraulic fracturing is necessary for medical diagnosis, treatment, or emergency response to disclose such formula or the specific chemical identity of a trade secret chemical to the state, the Administrator, a first responder, or healthcare practitioner upon request, regardless of the existence of a written statement of need or a confidentiality agreement. Authorizes such person to require the execution of such statement and agreement as soon as practicable. Authorizes first responders or healthcare practitioners to share any information disclosed with other persons if the information is medically necessary, but prohibits such personnel from making such information publicly available.
