PROTECTING ACCESS TO ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION

RMP Database Updated

OMB Watch today posted updated information about the risks of serious public harm posed by thousands of chemical facilities nationwide. RTK NET's RMP database is available here.

RTK NET is currently the only easily accessible public source for much of the information included in facilities' risk management plans (RMPs). Since 1999, RTK NET has provided free, 24-hour online access to the RMPs while allowing users to search by various criteria. For example, a user may search for RMPs for all facilities within a particular state or zip code, or a user may search for RMPs covering a particular chemical. The offsite consequences analyses, however, remain available only at the federal reading rooms.
