On August 18, 2022, EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan signed the Safer Communities by Chemical Accident Prevention (SCCAP) Proposed Rule, which proposes revisions to the Risk Management Program (RMP) to further protect vulnerable communities from chemical accidents, especially those living near facilities with high accident rates. EPA held three public hearings to receive stakeholder input on the proposed rule. GCCA participated in the September 26th hearing and provided oral testimony. GCCA testimony highlighted industry questions and concerns with proposed provisions related to third party audits, information sharing, emergency response and new sections related to natural hazards and power loss. GCCA will also be submitting detailed written comments.
