EPA Sends RMP Revision NPRM to OMB

Yesterday the OMB’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs announced that it had received a notice of proposed rulemaking from the EPA on “Accidental Release Prevention Requirements: Risk Management Programs Under the Clean Air Act; Common Sense Approach to Chemical Accident Prevention”. This rulemaking is almost certainly a response to the latest program final rule published on March 11th, 2024.

According to the listing for this rulemaking in the Spring 2025 Unified Agenda:

“The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is initiating a new rulemaking to reconsider the current Risk Management Program (RMP) rule requirements. The agency is providing notice of this proposed rulemaking, which will align with agency priorities to ensure clean air, land, and water for every American; restore American energy dominance; and promote cooperative federalism and cross-agency partnership while reducing regulatory burden on facilities.”
