This presentation will provide timely insights into two critical areas of federal oversight: the U.S. Chemical Safety Board (CSB) Incident Reporting Rule and the recent Risk Management Program (RMP) rule revisions.
The session will begin with an overview of CSB’s Incident Reporting Rule, which requires owners/operators of stationary sources to report qualifying chemical releases. Compliance obligations, reporting timelines, and key definitions will be discussed, along with recent statistics and enforcement trends highlighting the consequences of non-compliance, including reputational and financial risks. A recent enforcement example will illustrate how failure to adhere to reporting obligations can result in significant penalties and oversight.
