Risk Management Plan (RMP) Amendments Compliance Information
The following document provides compliance information for the January 2017 Risk Management Program (RMP) Amendments.
In 2017, the RMP Amendments Final Rule issued new requirements for accident prevention, response, and public disclosure of information, but key provisions were paused, and most never went into effect. Instead, in 2019, the RMP Reconsideration Final Rule rescinded or modified some of the measures in the 2017 rule. In August 2022, EPA published the RMP Safer Communities by Chemical Accident Prevention (SCCAP) proposed rule, which proposes revisions to the RMP to further protect vulnerable communities from chemical accidents, especially those living near facilities with high accident rates.
