The Federal EPA just updated their RMP User Manual. This is the go-to manual to find all the answers to your RMP submittal questions when using RMP eSubmit Software. The manual “unofficially” also provides much insight into all the submittal data you are being asked to provide. It even explains how the WCS and ARS should be managed and presented in your submittal(s). In my RMP Submittal Training Courses, I do for companies where I teach EHS professionals how they can do their RMP, including how to do their WCS and ARS using FREE software, this is a MUST HAVE manual; one of the best user manuals ever put out by a government agency. In this 2018 update, EPA has made the following additions/revisions:
- Since 2009, you have been able to submit your RMPs online via RMP*eSubmit. This software is on EPA’s secure network, the Central Data Exchange (CDX), which manages thousands of data submissions from states and industry to a variety of EPA programs. Several updates to the software have occurred since 2009.
- Reporting requirements are the same as in 2004. While the format of your reporting changed in 2009, the 2004 rule changes will remain in effect.
- You can access your RMP online anytime. Owners and operators of facilities, and individuals they designate as Preparers of their RMPs, can access the facility RMP at any time online.
- RMP*eSubmit replaced RMP*Submit 2004. EPA no longer supports the RMP*Submit 2004 software.
- CBI submissions via RMP*eSubmit beginning January 2013.
- NAICS Codes update. The 2012 version of the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes has been integrated into RMP*eSubmit in March 2014.
