Please accept these public comments from 35,218 online members and activists on behalf of the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) regarding EPA-HQ-OEM-2015-0725-0890 opposing the proposed roll back of EPA's Risk Management Plan (RMP) rules. These critical rules govern how to prevent, mitigate, and keep surrounding communities safe from disasters at industrial and chemical facilities around the country. Considering that between 2004 and 2013, over 2,200 chemical disasters took place in the US, these rules need to be kept in place and strengthened to protect lives and communities across the country. We urge you to reject any roll back of live saving RMP rules. Thank you for your consideration.

Abstract

EPA is proposing several changes to the final Risk Management Program Amendments rule (Amendments rule) issued on January 13, 2017, whose effective date has been delayed until February 19, 2019. EPA is proposing to rescind amendments relating to safer technology and alternatives analyses, third-party audits, incident investigations, information availability, and several other minor regulatory changes and to modify amendments relating to local emergency coordination and emergency exercises, along with their compliance dates.
