Title: Risk Management Program 

Requirements and Petitions to Modify 

the List of Regulated Substances under 

Section 112(r) of the Clean Air Act 

(Renewal). 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1656.14, 

OMB Control No. 2050–0144. 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on July 31, 2012. Under OMB 

regulations, the Agency may continue to 

conduct or sponsor the collection of 

information while this submission is 

pending at OMB. 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, 

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 Clean Air Act 

(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, established by 

rule on June 20, 1996, requires the 

implementation of the source risk 

management programs and the 

submission of initial Risk Management 

Plan (RMP)’s by June 21, 1999, and at 

least every five years after the initial 

submission. Sources must resubmit 

earlier than their next five-year deadline 

if they undergo certain changes to their 

covered processes as specified in Part 

68. Therefore, after the initial 

submission, some sources re-submitted 

their RMPs prior to the next 5-year 

deadline because they had process 

changes that required an earlier update. 

These sources were then assigned a new 

five-year resubmission deadline based 

on the date of their revised plan 

submission. Most covered sources had 

no significant changes to their covered 

processes and therefore resubmitted 

their updated RMP on June 21, 2004. 

This same pattern continued through 

the next submission cycle—some 

sources updated and resubmitted their 

RMP prior to their next five-year 

deadline and were assigned a new (offcycle) five-year deadline, but a majority 

of sources submitted their updated RMP 

on or near the next scheduled five-year 

resubmission deadline (June 2009). 

Similarly, while most sources’ next 

submission is due in June 2014, because 

of off-cycle resubmission deadlines 

assigned to sources who have 

resubmitted RMPs prior to their next 5- 

year resubmission date, only a portion 

of the RMP-regulated universe has a 

submission deadline of June 21, 2014. 

Other than the costs for gathering 

information and filling out the on-line 

RMP form, the regulations require 

sources to maintain on-site 

documentation, perform a compliance 

audit every three years, provide 

refresher training to employees, perform 

a hazard analysis at least every five 

years, etc. Some of these activities are 

expected to occur annually or are ongoing. Some are required every three 

years or every five years, unless there 


erowe on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
37904 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 122 / Monday, June 25, 2012 / Notices 

are changes at the facility. Therefore, the 

burden and costs incurred by sources 

vary from ICR to ICR. The five-year 

resubmission deadline set by the 

regulations or assigned by EPA based on 

the latest RMP resubmission also will 

cause the burden to vary from ICR to 

ICR. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 18 hours per 

response. 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 which have subsequently 

changed; 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, nonchemical manufacturers, states. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

13,558 facility respondents and 15 

implementing agencies. 

Frequency of Response: Every five 

years, unless the facilities need to 

update their previous submission. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

80,546. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$6,736,212 in labor costs. There are no 

capital or O&M costs associated with 

this ICR. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

decrease of 13,436 hours for all sources 

and states from the previous ICR. The 

burden varies from ICR to ICR due to 

different resubmission deadlines based 

on the sources’ RMP re-submission 

deadline and other regulatory deadlines. 

Therefore, the burden changes each year 

depending on how many sources have 

to submit their RMP and comply with 

certain prevention program 

requirements. The number of sources 

subject to the regulations fluctuates 

regularly, and is lower than in the 

previous ICR (13,718 sources in the 

previous ICR vs. 13,558 in this ICR 

period).
