Abstract: This information collection is authorized by the following Clean Air Act (CAA) sections: for on-site documentation of Risk Management Plans (RMPs), section 112(r)(7)(B)(i) and (ii); for submitting an RMP, section 112(r)(7)(B)(iii); and, for on-site documentation and submittal of RMPs, 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 Prevention 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 and address chemical hazards in their communities and to respond appropriately in the event of a release of a regulated substance.

Burden Increase Due to:

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: 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.
