## Abstract

This action modifies the chemical accident prevention rule codified in 40 CFR Part 68. The chemical accident prevention rule requires owners and operators of stationary sources subject to the rule to submit a risk management plan (RMP) by June 21, 1999, to a central location specified by EPA. In this action, EPA is amending the rule to: add four mandatory and five optional RMP data elements, establish specific procedures for protecting confidential business information when submitting RMPs, adopt the government's use of a new industry classification system, and make technical corrections and clarifications to Part 68. However, as stated in the proposed rule for these amendments, this action does not address issues concerning public access to offsite consequence analysis data in the RMP.
