The Risk Management Plan (RMP)
The owner or operator covered by this regulation is required to register a Risk Management Plan (RMP) with EPA. The RMP is a summary of the stationary source's risk management program. The owner or operator is also required to update, maintain, and correct their RMP as required.

Submitting and Re-submitting RMPs
RMPs must be reviewed and updated at least once every five years. RMPs also must be updated if any of the changes specified in 40 CFR 68.190(b) occur. Re-submission of the RMP re-sets the five-year anniversary date by which the next update is required.

Corrections to RMPs
The owner or operator of a stationary source is required to correct their RMP when there is new accident history information or when the emergency contact information has changed as specified by 40 CFR part 68.195. Corrections can be made to existing RMPs however; it will not generate a new anniversary date. Re-submitting, Correcting, or Withdrawing a Risk Management Plan
