RMP Requirements
The goal of a Risk Management Program is
to prevent serious chemical accidents that
could cause harm to the public and the
environment and to reduce the potential
impact of accidental releases.
If you are regulated under the Risk
Management Program, you must submit your
Risk Management Plan (RMP), which
describes your Risk Management Program.
EPA has developed an electronic submission
system (RMP*Submit™) that will make
filing the RMP easy. The software will be
available on diskette, CD-ROM, or via EPA's
Internet website.
Portions of the RMP you submit to EPA will
be publicly available via the Internet. The
information is intended to stimulate the
dialogue between industry, state and local
officials, and the public to improve accident
prevention and emergency response practices.
RMP*Submit:
4 Helps you avoid common reporting errors
by verifying you have completed all
required data elements;
+ Allows you to correct errors before
submitting your RMP; and
4 Accepts limited graphics and provides on-
line help.
