Title: Risk Management Program
Requirements and Petitions to Modify
the List of Regulated Substances under
section 112(r) of the Clean Air Act
(CAA) (Renewal);
ICR Number: EPA ICR No. 1656.13,
OMB Control No. 2050–0144.
ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to
expire on January 31, 2009. 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
VerDate Nov<24>2008

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
(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 was accounted for in
previous ICRs. Sources submitted their
first RMPs on June 21, 1999. The next
compliance deadline for most sources
was June 21, 2004, five years after the
first submission. 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 revised plan submission. The
next submission deadline of RMPs for
most sources is June 21, 2009. However,
as only some regulated entities have a
compliance deadline of June 2009, the
remaining sources have been assigned a
deadline in 2010, 2011, 2012 or 2013
(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
2009. In this ICR, EPA has accounted
burden for new sources that may
become subject to the regulations,
currently covered sources with
compliance deadlines in this ICR period
(2009 to 2011), 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.

Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 20.5 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:
Entities potentially affected by this
action are chemical manufacturers,
petroleum refineries, water treatment
systems, non-chemical manufacturers,
etc.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
13,718, including State implementing
agencies.
Frequency of Response: Every five
years, unless the facilities need to
update their pervious submission earlier
to comply with a rule requirement.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 93,982.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$9,785,371.00. There are no capital or
operating and maintenance costs
associated with this ICR since the
Agency expects all sources to submit
their RMPs on-line using the new
electronic reporting system, RMP*
eSubmit.
Changes in the Estimates: There is a
decrease of 4,617 hours for all sources
and states from the previous ICR. There
are two primary reasons for this
decrease in burden. First, as explained
in section 1 of the supporting statement
for this ICR renewal, the burden varies
from ICR to ICR due to different
compliance deadlines based on the
sources’ RMP re-submission deadline
and other regulatory deadlines.
Therefore, the burden fluctuates each
year depending on how many sources
have to submit their RMP and comply
with certain prevention program
requirements. Second, the number of
sources subject to the regulations is
lower than in the previous ICR (16,634
in the previous ICR and 13,718 sources
in this ICR period).

Title: Risk Management Program Requirements and Petitions to Modify
the List of Regulated Substances under section 112(r) of the Clean Air
Act (CAA) (Renewal);
ICR Number: EPA ICR No. 1656.13, OMB Control No. 2050-0144.
ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on January 31, 2009.
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 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 (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 was accounted for in
previous ICRs. Sources submitted their first RMPs on June 21, 1999. The
next compliance deadline for most sources was June 21, 2004, five years
after the first submission. 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 revised
plan submission. The next submission deadline of RMPs for most sources
is June 21, 2009. However, as only some regulated entities have a
compliance deadline of June 2009, the remaining sources have been
assigned a deadline in 2010, 2011, 2012 or 2013 (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 2009. In this ICR, EPA has
accounted burden for new sources that may become subject to the
regulations, currently covered sources with compliance deadlines in
this ICR period (2009 to 2011), 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.
Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 20.5
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: Entities potentially affected by
this action are chemical manufacturers, petroleum refineries, water
treatment systems, non-chemical manufacturers, etc.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 13,718, including State
implementing agencies.
Frequency of Response: Every five years, unless the facilities need
to update their pervious submission earlier to comply with a rule
requirement.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 93,982.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: $9,785,371.00. There are no capital or
operating and maintenance costs associated with this ICR since the
Agency expects all sources to submit their RMPs on-line using the new
electronic reporting system, RMP* eSubmit.
Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 4,617 hours for
all sources and states from the previous ICR. There are two primary
reasons for this decrease in burden. First, as explained in section 1
of the supporting statement for this ICR renewal, the burden varies
from ICR to ICR due to different compliance deadlines based on the
sources' RMP re-submission deadline and other regulatory deadlines.
Therefore, the burden fluctuates each year depending on how many
sources have to submit their RMP and comply with certain prevention
program requirements. Second, the number of sources subject to the
regulations is lower than in the previous ICR (16,634 in the previous
ICR and 13,718 sources in this ICR period).
