CSB Publishes Reactive Hazards Study 60-day ICR Notice

Today, the Chemical Safety Board published a 60-day information collection request (ICR) notice in the Federal Register (88 FR 43270-43271) for “Reactive Hazard Study Survey of Industry Practices”. This ICR supports a survey that will be used in a study conducted for the CSB by the Federal Research Division (FRD) of the Library of Congress. The study will be a follow-up to the 2002 CSB report on Improving Reactive Hazard Management.

The CSB expects that the researchers will contact 15 facilities and 9 other stakeholders to participate in the study. They expect that the survey will take three hours to complete. A copy of the draft survey protocol along with the proposed questions can be found here. This will be a one-time, voluntary data collection.

The CSB is soliciting public comments on the ICR. The notice does not provide specific information about submitting comments, but it does provide a unique email address as a point of contact for the program (reactives@csb.gov). Comments could be sent there. Deadline for comments is September 5^th, 2023.
