Title: Risk Management Program 

Requirements and Petitions to Modify 

the List of Regulated Substances under 

Section 112(r) of the Clean Air Act. 

ICR number: EPA ICR No. 1656.14, 

OMB Control No. 2050–0144. 

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on July 31, 2012. 

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 title 40 of the CFR, 

after appearing in the Federal Register 

when approved, are listed in 40 CFR 

part 9, and are displayed either by 

publication in the Federal Register or 

by other appropriate means, such as on 

the related collection instrument or 

form, if applicable. The display of OMB 

control numbers in certain EPA 

regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR 

part 9. 

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 more than 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 to 

EPA. The compliance schedule for the 

part 68 requirements was established by 

rule on June 20, 1996. The burden to 

sources that are currently covered by 

part 68, for initial rule compliance, 

including rule familiarization and 

program implementation was accounted 

for in previous ICRs. Sources submitted 

their first RMPs on June 21, 1999. For 

most sources, the next compliance 

deadlines occurred thereafter at 5 year 

intervals—on June 21, 2004, and 

subsequently on June 21, 2009. Some 

sources revised and submitted their 

RMPs between the five-year deadlines. 

These sources were then assigned a new 

five-year compliance deadline based on 

the date of their most recent revised 

plan submission. The next submission 

deadline of RMPs for most sources is 

June 21, 2014. However, as only some 

regulated entities have a compliance 

deadline of June 2014, the remaining 

sources have been assigned a deadline 

in 2013, 2015, 2016 or 2017 (the last two 

years are after the period covered by this 

ICR) based on the date of their most 

recent submission. The period covered 

by this ICR includes the regulatory 

reporting deadline, June 2014. In this 

ICR, EPA has accounted for burden for 

new sources that may become subject to 

the regulations, currently covered 

sources with compliance deadlines in 

this ICR period (2013 to 2015), sources 

that are out of compliance since the last 

regulatory deadline but are expected to 

comply during this ICR period, and 

sources that have deadlines beyond this 

ICR period but are required to comply 

with certain prevention program 

documentation requirements. 

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. 

The EPA would like to solicit 

comments to: 

(i) Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

(ii) Evaluate the accuracy of the 

Agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

(iii) Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

(iv) Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology, e.g., permitting 

electronic submission of responses. 

Burden Statement: The burden and 

costs stated below are from the current 

approved ICR. The public reporting 

burden will depend on the size of the 

sources complying with 40 CFR part 68 

requirements. In this ICR, the public 

reporting burden for rule familiarization 

for new sources is estimated to range 

from 12 to 32 hours per source. The 

public reporting burden to prepare and 

submit an RMP for new sources is 

estimated to range from 8.25 to 33 

hours. The public reporting burden for 

new sources to develop a prevention 

program is estimated to range from 7 to 

188 hours per source. The public 

reporting burden for those sources that 

claim CBI is estimated to be 9.5 hours 

per source. The public reporting burden 

for currently covered sources to prepare 

and submit an RMP is estimated to 

range from 5 to 28 hours. The public 

record keeping burden to maintain onsite documentation for currently 

covered sources is estimated to range 

from 4.5 to 124 hours. The total annual 

public reporting burden for all sources 

is 84,729 hours (254,187 hours over 

three years). The total annual burden 

estimated for 16 implementing agencies 

is 9,253 hours (27,759 hours for three 

years). Therefore, the total annual 

burden for all sources and states is 

estimated to be 93,982 hours (281,946 

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

A. California’s Truck Idling 

Requirements 

By letter dated May 9, 2008, CARB 

informed EPA that it had adopted its 

Truck Idling Requirements, and 

requested that EPA confirm that certain 

provisions of the requirements are not 

preempted by sections 209(a) of the 

Clean Air Act (Act); certain provisions 

are conditions precedent pursuant to 

section 209(a) of the Act; 1 certain 

provisions are within-the-scope of 

previous waivers and authorizations 

issued pursuant to sections 209(b) and 

209(e) of the Act, respectively; and at 

least one provision requires and merits 

a full authorization pursuant to section 

209(e) of the Act.2 CARB’s 2008 Truck 

Idling Requirements became effective 

California state law on November 15, 

2006, amending title 13, California Code 

of Regulations (CCR) sections 1956.8, 

2404, 2424, 2425, and 2485.3

CARB’s Truck Idling Requirements 

consist of three elements: (1) ‘‘New 

engine requirements’’ that require new 

California-certified 2008 and subsequent 

model year on-road diesel engines in 

vehicles with a gross vehicle weight 

rating (GVWR) greater than 14,000 

pounds (i.e., heavy-duty diesel vehicles 

or ‘‘HDDV’’s) be equipped with a system 

that automatically shuts down the 

engine after five minutes of continuous 

idling; (2) ‘‘sleeper truck requirements’’ 

that require the operator of a sleeper 

truck to manually shut down the engine 

after five minutes of continuous idling;
