RMP SUBMIT vs. RMP UPDATE
June 21, 2004 Deadline!
We are still receiving many questions regarding the RMP re-submit deadlines.
For those facilities who have submitted an RMP in the last couple of years, you don't have to resubmit your whole RMP this year; however, you still have to submit corrections (updates). All anhydrous ammonia dealers must either submit or update their RMP by June 21, 2004.
EPA has just made available an update tool called "RMP*WebRC" which allows you to make minor changes to the initial "Registration" section of your RMP using the internet. If you are eligible, you should receive a letter from EPA with instructions. The instructions will give you the web address and code numbers you will need in order to use the update tool.
You cannot do the following using the RMP*WebRC update tool:
- change your executive summary
- update your accident history
- alter anything outside the "Registration" section
In order to make any of the above changes, you must submit a new RMP*Submit 2004. This can be done at http://www.epa.gov/emergencies.
For more information, or if you think you should be able to update, but haven't received a letter from EPA, call the EPA help desk at 800-890-1995.
