Abstract: Information collection for on-site documentation of Risk
Management Plans (RMPs) is authorized by Clean Air Act (CAA) sections
112(r)(7)(B)(i) and (ii), which state, ``The Administrator shall
promulgate reasonable regulations and appropriate guidance to provide .
. . for the prevention and detection of accidental releases of
regulated substances . . .'' and, ``The regulations . . . shall require
the owner or operator . . . to prepare and implement a risk management
plan to detect and prevent or minimize accidental releases . . .''
Information collection for submitting an RMP is authorized under CAA
section 112(r)(7)(B)(iii), which states in relevant part, ``The, owner
or operator of each stationary source . . . shall register a risk
management plan . . . with the Administrator before the effective date
of the regulations . . . in such form and manner as the Administrator
shall, by rule, require . . . and shall be available to the public
under section 114(c).'' Information collection for on-site
[[Page 46197]]
documentation and submittal of RMPs also is authorized by CAA section
114(a)(1). State and local authorities use the information in RMPs to
modify and enhance their community response plans. The agencies
implementing the Risk Management Program use RMPs to evaluate
compliance with the Chemical Accident Provisions in 40 CFR part 68 and
to identify sources for inspection that may pose significant risks to
the community. Citizens may use the information to assess chemical
hazards in their communities.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Stationary sources that manufacture,
react, mix, store, or use substances in processes that require
equipment designed, constructed, installed, operated, or maintained in
specific ways to prevent accidental releases and ensure safe
operations.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory under CAA section
112(r)(7)(B)(iii).
Estimated number of respondents: 14,513 (total).
Frequency of response: Sources are required to register and submit
an RMP once every five years unless there are significant changes in
the information provided.
Total estimated burden: 667,639 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $52,611,420 (per year), which includes
$36,792 annual operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the estimates: There is decrease of 36,336 hours in the
total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently
approved by OMB. Two primary reasons account for this decrease in
burden. First, the burden varies from one ICR renewal to the next due
to different resubmission deadlines based on the sources' RMP re-
submission deadlines and other regulatory deadlines. Therefore, the
burden changes each year depending on how many sources must submit
their RMP and comply with certain prevention program requirements.
Second, the number of sources subject to the regulations fluctuates
regularly and is slightly lower than in the previous ICR (12,074 vs.
12,341 sources) due to the net change in new sources minus deregistered
sources, as well as a lower number of new facilities anticipated to
become subject to the RMP requirements during the three-year clearance
period.
