Requirements

• 112(r) Decision Tree (pdf) - A flowchart designed to help in determining whether a facility is subject to 112(r) and, if the facility is covered, which Program Level the facility falls under.
• Program Level Requirements Chart (pdf) - A chart listing the requirements of each Program Level in 112(r).

Program 1

• The worst case analysis must not impact a public receptor;
• The facility must not have had an accidental release of a regulated substance for the five years prior to the submission of the RMP; and
• The facility must have an emergency response plan on file with local responders.

Program 2

If a process does not qualify for Program I or Program III, then it is automatically placed into Program II.

Program 3

• The process must not qualify for Program I; and
• The regulated process has one of the following Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) or the North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) codes:

  SIC	Industry Sector	NAICS
  2611	Pulp Mills	32211
  2812	Alkalies & Chlorine Manufacturing	325181
  2819/2869	All Other Basic Inorganic Chemical Manufacturing	325188
  2821	Plastics Materials & Resin Manufacturing	325211
  2865	Cyclic Crude & Intermediates	325192
  2873	Nitrogenous Fertilizer Manufacturing	325311
  2879	Pesticides & Other Agricultural Chemical Manufacturing	32532
  2911	Petroleum Refineries	32411
  2865/2869	Petrochemical Manufacturing	32511
  2969/2899	All Other Basic Organic Chemical Manufacturing	325199

• If the process does not have one of the SIC/NAICS codes, but the process is subject to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Process Safety Management (PSM) standard, then it falls under Program III.
