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!

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. Next Page Return to Top ------- Page 4 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.

Next Page Return to Top ------- Page 5 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. Next Page Return to Top ------- Page 6 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. Next Page Return to Top ------- Page 7 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.

Next Page Return to Top ------- Page 8 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 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 Attention SERC/TERC chairs and coordinators from Regions 8, 9, and 10. If you have not already received the announcement, registration is open for the 2024 conference in Clark County, Nevada. This years conference will be in-person February 21-22 at the Clark County Fire Department Training Center. We hope to see you there!

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. Next Page Return to Top ------- Page 13 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.
