Dingell Ranking Minority Member Committee on Commerce House of Representatives Subject: Accidental Release Prevention Requirements: Risk Management Programs Under Clean Air Act Section 112(r)(7) Pursuant to section 801(a)(2)(A) of title 5, United States Code, this is our report on a major rule promulgated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), entitled Accidental Release Prevention Requirements: Risk Management Programs Under Clean Air Act Section 112(r)(7) (FRL #5516-5, RIN: 2050-AD26). We received the rule on June 7, 1996. It was published in the Federal Register as a final rule on June 20, 1996. 61 Fed. Reg. 31668. This rule implements section 112(r) of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, which mandates that EPA promulgate regulations and develop guidance to prevent accidental releases to the air from stationary sources and mitigate the consequences of such releases by focusing prevention measures on chemicals that pose the greatest risk to the public and the environment. Enclosed is our assessment of EPA's compliance with the procedural steps required by sections 801(a)(1)(B)(i) through (iv) of title 5 with respect to the rule. Our review indicates that EPA complied with the applicable requirements. GAO/OGC-96-26
