CSB seeks comment on accidental chemical release reporting
The Chemical Safety Board has issued an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (.pdf file) seeking comment on how best to proceed with requirements for reporting accidental chemical releases.
Under EPA's Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, the board is required to establish procedures by which facilities must report accidental releases either to CSB or the National Response Center. NRC will notify the board of any reported releases that fall under CSB's jurisdiction.
The comment period closes Aug. 4.
