TFI working with EPA on supplemental NH3 RMP

Washington, D.C.-The Fertilizer Institute reported that EPA Region 7 has developed a supplemental Risk Management Program (RMP) guidance document for anhydrous ammonia agricultural retail facilities. EPA has asked TFI to provide comments by Feb. 20 on its Supplemental Risk Management Program Guidance for Anhydrous Ammonia Agricultural Retail Facilities. TFI reported that it has briefed EPA on myRMP, the web-based guidance materials that were developed by TFI and are administered by the Asmark Institute. TFI said it intends to give EPA access to myRMP, which is available to members on the TFI website, and that it will be working the EPA Region 7 to ensure that the guidance documents are uniform. TFI said it believes EPA intends to publish its guidance document and make it available to all retailers.
