Title:
Continuous
Release
Reporting
Regulations
(
CRRR)
under
CERCLA
1980
(
Renewal).
Abstract:
Section
103(
a)
of
CERCLA,
as
amended,
requires
the
person
in
charge
of
a
vessel
or
facility
to
immediately
notify
the
National
Response
Center
(
NRC)
of
a
hazardous
substance
release
into
the
environment
if
the
amount
of
the
release
equals
or
exceeds
the
substance's
reportable
quantity
(
RQ).
The
RQ
of
every
hazardous
substance
can
be
found
in
Table
302.4
of
40
CFR
302.4.
Section
103(
f)(
2)
of
CERCLA
provides
facilities
relief
from
this
per­
occurrence
notification
requirement
if
the
hazardous
substance
release
at
or
above
the
RQ
is
continuous
and
stable
in
quantity
and
rate.
Under
the
Continuous
Release
Reporting
Requirements
(
CRRR),
to
report
such
a
release
as
a
continuous
release
you
must
make
an
initial
telephone
call
to
the
NRC,
an
initial
written
report
to
the
EPA
Region,
and,
if
the
source
and
chemical
composition
of
the
continuous
release
do
not
change
and
the
level
of
the
continuous
release
does
not
significantly
increase,
a
follow­
up
written
report
to
the
EPA
Region
one
year
after
submission
of
the
initial
written
report.
If
the
source
or
chemical
composition
of
the
previously
reported
continuous
release
changes,
notifying
the
NRC
and
EPA
Region
of
a
change
in
the
source
or
composition
of
the
release
is
required.
Further,
a
significant
increase
in
the
level
of
the
previously
reported
continuous
release
must
be
reported
immediately
to
the
NRC
according
to
section
103(
a)
of
CERCLA.
Finally,
any
change
in
information
submitted
in
support
of
a
continuous
release
notification
must
be
reported
to
the
EPA
Region.
The
reporting
of
a
hazardous
substance
release
that
is
equal
to
or
above
the
substance's
RQ
allows
the
Federal
government
to
determine
whether
a
Federal
response
action
is
required
to
control
or
mitigate
any
potential
adverse
effects
to
public
health
or
welfare
or
the
environment.
The
continuous
release
of
hazardous
substance
information
collected
under
CERCLA
section
103(
f)(
2)
is
also
available
to
EPA
program
offices
and
other
Federal
agencies
who
use
the
information
to
evaluate
the
potential
need
for
additional
regulations,
new
permitting
requirements
for
specific
substances
or
sources,
or
improved
emergency
response
planning.
State
and
local
government
authorities
and
facilities
subject
to
the
CRRR
use
release
information
for
purposes
of
local
emergency
response
planning.
Members
of
the
public,
who
have
access
to
release
information
through
the
Freedom
of
Information
Act,
may
request
release
information
for
purposes
of
maintaining
an
awareness
of
what
types
of
releases
are
occurring
in
different
localities
and
what
actions,
if
any,
are
being
taken

to,
a
collection
of
information
unless
it
displays
a

control
number.
The
OMB
control

The
Federal

required
under

d),
soliciting
comments
on
this
collection
of
information
was
published
on
July
9,
2004;
no

were
received.
Burden
Statement:
The
annual
public
reporting
and
recordkeeping
burden
for
this
collection
of
information
is
estimated
to
average
11.1
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

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:
Entities
potentially
affected
by
this
action
are
facilities
that
manufacture,
process,
transport,
or
otherwise
use
certain
specified
hazardous
substances.
Estimated
Number
of
Respondents:
3,276.
Frequency
of
Response:
After
initially
reporting
the
continuous
release
to
the
NRC
and
EPA
Region,
only
a
one­
year
follow­
up
report
to
the
EPA
Region
is
necessary
unless
there
is
a
change
in
the
source
of
the
continuous
release,
a
change
in
the
chemical
composition
of
the
continuous
release,
or
a
significant
increase
in
the
level
of
the
continuous
release.
In
these
cases
the
person
in
charge
of
the
facility
has
to
notify
the
NRC
and
the
appropriate
EPA
Regional
Office
of
the
change
in
the
continuous
release.
Estimated
Total
Annual
Hour
Burden:
284,154.
Estimated
Total
Annual
Cost:
$
10,101,032
includes
$
85,521
O&
M
costs,
$
0
Capital
expense,
and
$
10,015,511
Respondent
Labor
costs.
Changes
in
the
Estimates:
There
is
an
increase
of
34,703
hours
in
the
total
estimated
burden
currently
identified
in
the
OMB
Inventory
of
Approved
ICR
Burdens.
This
increase
is
primarily
the
result
of
adjustments
to
the
estimates.
Annual
respondent
burden
hours
are
based
on
data
from
actual
numbers
of
continuous
release
reports
from
several
regions
and
the
application
of
a
growth
rate
consistent
with
prior
years'
reporting.
The
average
annual
percent
increase
in
the
number
of
facilities
in
the
ICR
is
7.5%.
