American Chemistry Council
• RMP has been, and will continue to be a positive experience.
• DOJ/EPA final rule reinforces the RTK institutional infrastructure created by EPCRA.
• OCA on the Internet is representative of information stewardship concerns facing government.
RMP: Positive Experience
• Process safety management improvements.
• Opportunity for community interaction.
• Strengthened LEPC/facility relationship.
• Improved data: 5 year accident history
RTK Infrastructure
• Final rule “encourages” LEPCs to provide access to OCAs.
• Provides flexibility for LEPCs:– To determine if there is a demand– How to make the data available– Registration procedures
Information Stewardship
• EPA was placed in a difficult position.
• EPA’s tendency is to be pro RTK. Make all information available. Which is good.
• But information collection can have impact beyond EPA’s scope.
• Thus, a process is needed.
