Resubmitting an RMP

RMPs must be updated at least once every five (5) years.  You must fully update your RMP for resubmission sooner than the five-year anniversary date, if any of the changes specified below occur [as specified in 40 CFR 68.190(b)].

1. If a change alters the Program Level that applies to any covered process, the RMP must be resubmitted within six months of that change.
2. If a change requires a revised Off-site Consequence Analysis, the RMP must be resubmitted within six months of that change.
3. If a change requires a revised process hazard analysis or hazard review, the RMP must be resubmitted within six months of that change.
4. If a new regulated substance is present above the threshold quantity in an already covered process, the RMP must be resubmitted on the date which the new substance is present.
5. If a regulated substance is present above the threshold quantity in a new process, the RMP must be resubmitted on the date which the substance is present above the threshold quantity.
6. If EPA begins regulating a new substance, the RMP must be resubmitted within three years of the date the substance is first regulated.
   Resubmissions reset the five-year anniversary date by which you must next update your RMP. To resubmit, you must update all nine sections of your RMP.
