LEPC Best Practices

Engaging the public and continually proving the relevancy of your local emergency planning
committee (LEPC) can be difficult, even when there was not a pesky pandemic derailing your day-
to-day work. Many of you had to shift your focus from the chemical emergency management
piece to managing the pandemic during the last few years. As society moves forward, so is our
work in preparing our communities for emergencies.

LEPC's in Region 8 are finding innovative ways to reach out to their constituents. Here are a few

from around the region, but by no means captures all of your
work.

Adams County Safety Fair

Adams County, Colorado held their first safety fair which
Pkjflfc ffiji	^ included opportunities for kids to "Touch-a-Truck", interactive

—	- exhibits, preparedness resources and a Flight For Life

^	Helicopter landing. Multiple

booths including FEMA, county
public works, local search and
rescue as well as neighboring City
of Aurora Emergency Management all staffed booths which
provided the community access to multiple resources at once
while also showing the partnership between planning and
response entities.

Yellowstone County LEPC Conference
Yellowstone County, Montana hosted their annual LEPC

Conference this past fali. They brought in a variety of partners to educate their LEPC constituents
in different topics to help better prepare their community for the future. They brought in
speakers from a variety of different disciplines that discussed everything from EPA's response
capabilities and the recent Stillwater Oil Spill Response to Montana's Topography and how to
stop large wounds from bleeding. The conference was a huge success that helped fill knowledge
gaps and helped a variety of local partners network, which is always important to do before a
response occurs. Bringing people together ahead of time ensures that people stay in their lane in
the future and creates comradery that is essential out in the field during a stressful situation. This
conference was especially important to the facilities and first responders to understand that
while spills and releases will continue to occur, they aren't necessarily going to be cleaning it up
alone!

LEPC Best Practices, contd.

Utah County Tabletop Exercise

Boom! A train explosion that caused a Hazardous Materials release was how Utah Counties LEPC
Tabletop Exercise kicked off, First responders, LEPC Members, facilities, school district members,
businesses and more all came together to discuss the impacts of a catastrophic release and how
the area might deal with this type of situation. Injects were given to each group, which ensured
cross mingling between the variety of different
disciplines. Hospitals discussed the transferring
of patients, schools discussed how they might
shut-down the HVAC system, first responders
identified additional resources that could be
brought into the response. With so much
knowledge flying around, the best part was the
recap between all the various groups and what
they had discussed. This ensured no one missed
any of the processes of how objectives might be
accomplished.

CSKT Environmental Emergency Preparedness Workshop

The Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes (CSKT) Division of Environmental Protection recently
put together an Environmental Emergency Preparedness Workshop for its local partners in the
area. This workshop dove into the details of what the various hazardous material labels and IDs
mean, how to properly use the Emergency Response Guidebook, how to conduct an incident as-
sessment and so much more. Participants were even given a field component to learn how to de-
ploy boom during an oil spill (real oil was not used during this demonstration). Considering Pol-
son, MT (the location of CSKT) is right next to Flathead lake, education of how to recognize vari-
ous chemicals and how to prevent them from getting into waterways ways is crucial. Workshops
like this are great because you not only gain new knowledge about hazardous materials, but you
also get to apply some of the new skills.

Of course LEPC's do not have unlimited funding mechanisms, but perhaps you could set up a
booth at a local harvest festival in the fall or the next county fair. Do you have an innovative idea,
something that worked for your community and you think would benefit others? Let us know, we
want to continually highlight your ideas.

CISA Announcements

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security
Agency (CISA), and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) launched the new
"Shields Ready" campaign to encourage the critical infrastructure community to focus on
strengthening resilience.

Shields Ready complements CISA's successful "Shields Up" campaign, which encourage critical
infrastructure stakeholders to take specific, time-sensitive actions that reduce risk in response
to specific threat intelligence during cyberattacks, physical security threats, or natural disasters
in response to specific threat intelligence. Shields Ready focuses more broadly and strategically
on how to prepare critical infrastructure for a potential disruption and how to build more
resilience into systems, facilities, and processes by taking action before a crisis or incident
occurs. It also aligns with and complements FEMA's Ready campaign. Each campaign webpage
will feature and link to the other for easy reference and use.

This focused approach highlights how critical infrastructure entities and organizations can
Resolve to be Resilient integrating certain practices that will make themselves secure, resilient,
and able to bounce back quickly and build back stronger from an incident.

CISA Planning Guide

FEMA and CISA Release a Cyber Incident Planning Guide for Emergency Managers

FEMA released "Planning Considerations for Cyber Incidents: Guidance for Emergency
Managers." a foundational product developed in coordination with the Cybersecurity and
Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA).

Key aspects of cyber incident preparedness outlined in the document include:

•	Understanding the types of cyber incidents likely to occur.

•	Engaging service owners and operators.

•	Identifying cyber-dependent critical services and related dependencies.

•	Prioritizing and planning for service and system disruptions.

•	Identifying roles and responsibilities.

•	Providing integrated communication and public messaging.

•	Developing a cyber incident response plan.

CFATS Updates

Resilience in a Time of Uncertainty: National Chemical Security During the CFATS Lapse

By CISA Associate Director for Chemical Security Kelly Murray

November has typically been a big month for Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency
(CISA) Chemical Security every year. It marks the anniversaries of CISA's two cornerstone
chemical security programs, as well as the anniversary of CISA as an organization, and it was also
the nation's Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience Month.

But 2023 has not been a normal November for CISA Chemical Security. This summer, Congress
allowed the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) program's statutory authority to
expire, leaving our nation without a regulatory chemical security program for the first time in 15
years. Rather than celebrating the program's 16th anniversary Nov. 20, we are facing a more
somber milestone as it has been four months since the expiration of the CFATS program.

As we call on all Americans to Resolve to be Resilient, we are also testing our own resilience
within the CISA Chemical Security family. CISA continues to urge Congress to reauthorize the
CFATS program. CFATS provides essential resilience for the chemical industry by enabling
chemical facility owners and operators to understand the risks associated with their chemical
security holdings, develop site security plans and programs, conduct site inspections, coordinate
with local law enforcement and first responders, and continue to reevaluate each facility's
security posture based on changes in its chemical holdings and threat nexus. We at CISA follow
our own advice: we believe in putting the right security plans and countermeasures in place
before an incident occurs to reduce the risk of incidents occurring and improving resilience
during and after incidents to reduce the impact on our communities and our nation. You can
learn more about these security and resilience principles through CISA's Shields Ready campaign,
which includes four key pillars:

Identifying Critical Assets

Through CFATS, CISA screened more than 40,000 chemical facilities, identified 3,200 of those
sites as high-risk, and worked with those facilities to understand the risks posed by their
chemical holdings and develop appropriate security plans. CISA was constantly monitoring the
landscape of dangerous chemicals across the nation as individual facilities tiered in and out of
the program based on increases or decreases in these chemical holdings, precautions, increasing
the risk of terrorist exploitation.

CFATS Update, contd.

Assessing Risk

The ability to screen personnel is an essential component of security when a chemical facility is de-
ciding whether to grant an employee unescorted access to dangerous chemicals or critical assets.
Under CFATS's Personnel Surety Program, chemical facilities could submit names of personnel with
or seeking access to dangerous chemicals and critical assets; CISA would then vet those names
against the Terrorist Screening Database. Prior to the lapse in authority, CFATS identified more
than 10 individuals with possible ties to terrorism over the lifetime of the Personnel Surety Pro-
gram. Given that rate of vetting, CISA likely would have identified an individual with or seeking ac-
cess to dangerous chemicals as a known or suspected terrorist at some point over the past four
months.

Security Planning

Under CFATS, chemical facilities were required to develop site-specific security plans to mitigate
the risks associated with possession of dangerous chemicals. Without CFATS, we cannot inspect
high-risk sites or assist these facilities with security planning efforts unless they approach the agen-
cy voluntarily for an assessment via the ChemLock program. We were conducting an average of
160 site inspections every month under CFATS; of those, more than a third identified security gaps,
which were then added to site security plans for remediation. We can safely estimate that hun-
dreds of security gaps have gone unidentified since July, meaning that chemical facilities are oper-
ating with no knowledge of these gaps or guidance on how to address them.

Continual Improvement

CISA Chemical Security and the high-risk facilities previously regulated by CFATS worked together
to ensure continuous improvement and adapt to the changing threat environment. Through regu-
lar and recurring CFATS compliance inspections, we were able to provide lessons learned and best
practices to address emerging threats and challenges and, based on the performance-based nature
of the regulation, require facilities to amend security plans to account for these risks. This, in con-
junction with updated guidance and resources, helped to ensure continuous growth in the chemi-
cal security community. Prior to the lapse in authority, this process was going to be further en-
hanced by a proposed rulemaking effort to enhance the physical and cybersecurity standards re-
quired of CFATS.

CFATS Update, contd.

Looking Ahead

For CISA Chemical Security, resilience means showing up to work, day after day, determined to
keep dangerous chemicals out of the hands of terrorists by fighting for the reauthorization of
CFATS and doing everything that we can on a voluntary basis in the meantime. While the CFATS
program is lapsed, we continue to offer expertise to chemical facilities on a voluntary basis through
the ChemLock program, which is available to any facility with dangerous chemicals regardless of
whether they were previously tiered under CFATS. Inspectors nationwide continue to offer on-site
assessments and assistance, which chemical facilities may request via the ChemLock Services
Request Form on the ChemLock homepage. Let me be clear, however: while the voluntary
ChemLock program complements the CFATS program, it is in no way a replacement for CFATS.

EPA Announcements

EPA Finalizes Rule to Require Enhanced EPCRA 313 (TRI) Reporting of PFAS

EPA has finalized a rule that improves TRI reporting of PFAS by eliminating the de minimis
exemption that allowed facilities to avoid reporting information on PFAS when those chemicals
were used in small concentrations. PFAS are used at low concentrations in many products, and
as a result of removing this reporting exemption, facilities in TRI-covered industry sectors that
make or use any of the 189 TRI-listed PFAS, will no longer be able to avoid disclosing the
quantities of PFAS they manage or release into the environment. The rule also makes the de
minimis exemption unavailable for purposes of supplier notification requirements to
downstream facilities for all chemicals on the list of chemicals of special concern, which also
includes additional chemicals that, like PFAS, remain in the environment for long periods of
time and build up in the body like lead, mercury, and dioxins. For more details, see https://
www.epa.gov/toxics-release-inventorv-tri-program/changes-tri-reporting-reciuirements-and-
polyfluoroalkyl.

CAMEO Software Update Released

New versions of CAMEO Chemicals 3.0.0, CAMEO Data Manager 4.3.0 and Tier2 Submit 2023
are now available. CAMEO Chemicals is available as a website, mobile website, desktop
program, and an app for iOS and Android mobile devices. This release includes a new mapping
tool to plot initial isolation and protective action distances from the Emergency Response
Guidebook which is a similar feature to the one previously available in WISER. Map objects can
also be exported as KML files to view in other mapping tools, such as MARPLOT. More
information can be found on the EPA's CAMEO website.

Complete 2022 TRI Dataset Now Available

Updated Toxics Release Inventory data for 2022 are now available in Envirofacts and in the
online tools on the TRI website. This dataset updates the preliminary 2022 data released in
August 2023. It includes revised and late submissions from facilities received by EPA as of
October 18, 2023.

Among the updated TRI tools, communities can use EPA's TRI Toxics Tracker to map the
locations of TRI-reporting facilities and find out about their chemical releases, other chemical
waste management practices, and pollution prevention activities.

EPA Announcements, contd.

EPA Issues Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) for Reporting Animal Waste
Air Emissions at Farms under the EPCRA

The EPA is soliciting information pertaining to and is requesting comments to assist in the
potential development of regulations to reinstate the reporting of animal waste air emissions
at farms under the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA). The
Agency is soliciting comments under five general categories: health impacts; implementation
challenges; costs and benefits; small farm definition and potential reporting exemption; and
national report on animal waste air emissions. Requiring reporting of animal waste air
emissions may advance the community right-to-know aspect of EPCRA by providing the public
with information that may impact their health and the environment. This information may
advance EPA's environmental justice goals of increasing the awareness of the potential impact
these emissions have on communities with environmental justice concerns.

Of particular interest to may be section IV.B.7. EPCRA National Database, where EPA solicits
comment on such a centralized database hosted and managed by EPA, whereby EPA could
collect EPCRA reports and make those reports immediately available to state, tribal, and local
agencies, thus improving the efficiency, efficacy, and transparency of EPCRA reporting
compliance and removing the burden to state, tribal, and local agencies receiving and
managing the submittals. A national database would provide industry the opportunity to
report to multiple states and local entities in one platform. The implementing agencies would
have access to all of the submitted information for their covered area, reducing their
administrative burden and allowing them to focus on implementation, community safety, and
compliance. The database would handle all reporting requirements, as well as requests from
the public for information, allowing entities to use their limited resources to improve
compliance efficacy.

You can review the full ANPRM and submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-
HQ-OLEM-2023-0142, at https://www.regulations.gov. Comments must be received on or
before February 15, 2024.

Western SERC/TERC Conference

Colorado River Oil Spitl Workshop

In November 2023, the Department of Interior (USDOI) and EPA Region 8 hosted a two-day oil spill
response workshop in Grand Junction, Colorado. More than 50 attendees participated in the workshop
representing EPA Region 8, US Fish and Wildlife Service, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Indian
Affairs, National Weather Service; Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (multiple
divisions and programs), Colorado State Patrol, Colorado Parks and Wildlife; Mesa County; the Grand
Junction Fire Department and other representatives from the Locai
Emergency Planning Commission; Union Pacific Railroad and
Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad. Objectives of the workshop
included the discussion of response coordination, including roles and
responsibilities (authorities and resources), of an oil spill response in
the western Colorado and Colorado River basin with industry, local,
state and federal partners, particularly addressing a response that
would likely involve two Region 8 states. The workshop also identified
and discussed DOI, state or tribal resources at risk, protection
priorities, and protection strategies and lastly identified any area for
improvements in agency spill preparedness/planning (e.g., training,
equipment, baseline surveys, etc.).

OSHA Updates

Department of Labor Announces Rule Expanding Submission Requirements for Injury, Illness Data
Provided by Employers in High-Hazard Industries

The U.S. Department of Labor announced a final rule that will require certain employers in designated
high-hazard industries to electronically submit injury and illness information - that they are already
required to keep - to the department's Occupational Safety and Health Administration. The final rule
takes effect on Jan. 1, 2024. OSHA will publish some of the data collected on its website to allow
employers, employees, potential employees, employee representatives, current and potential
customers, researchers and the general public to use information about a company's workplace safety
and health record to make informed decisions. OSHA believes that providing public access to the data
will ultimately reduce occupational injuries and illnesses.

OSHA Fatal Facts: Confined Space Fire

OSHA has released a Fatal Facts document about a confined space fire. Two contract workers died of
smoke inhalation and multiple blunt-force injuries during maintenance work on the inner walls of a
connected pair of pulp bleaching towers at a paper mill. Access the document here.

RMP Reconsideration Compliance Dates

Are you an RMP facility? Does your facility have one or more of the 140 regulated substances above
threshold quantities in a covered process? Do not forget that you have outstanding requirements and
new upcoming requirements under the RMP Reconsideration Rule.

•	Facilities must coordinate annually with local response organizations and document that coordina-
tion. Attending your LEPC meetings is a perfect way to satisfy this requirement.

•	Your facility must have its plan developed for conducting field and table top exercises by Decem-
ber 2023.

•	The execution of the first annual notification drills will need to be completed by December 2024.

•	Your first tabletop exercise will need to be completed by December 2026 then every three years
thereafter.

•	If your facility has an accident with an off-site impact, you must hold public meeting within 90 days
of that accident.

If you have not already, reach out to your LEPC. This organization has already been established to help
facilitate these requirements. Make sure your LEPC and other local responding organizations know if
your facility would need assistance in the event of a chemical release or perhaps your facility could
provide assistance to the community with the resources your company has.
