## Summary

On August 18, 2020, EPA issued an administrative compliance order to Rymes Heating Oils, Inc. (Rymes) for failing to re-file a risk management plan (RMP) for its propane distribution facility in West Lebanon, New Hampshire. The chemical accident prevention regulations, found at 40 C.F.R. Part 68, require re-submittal of an RMP at least every five years. In response to a draft order, the company had claimed that it was subject to an exclusion for retail facilities. EPA determined that the exclusion did not apply.
