The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) plans to submit an Information Collection Request related to the distribution of Off-Site Consequence Analysis information under the Clean Air Act. This request will be reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget according to the Paperwork Reduction Act. The EPA is inviting public comments on various aspects of this proposed information collection, which is an extension of a current collection approved until November 30, 2025. This request is part of regulations intended to prevent, detect, and respond to accidental chemical releases and to share information with state and local agencies as well as the general public.
Simple Explanation
The EPA wants to keep collecting information about what could happen if dangerous chemicals accidentally get out, and they want to hear people’s thoughts about it. They're checking if they need to change anything before asking for permission to keep doing this until 2025.
