(1) June 21, 1999;

(2) Three years after the date on which a regulated substance is first listed under 40 CFR Part 68, which is incorporated into rule 3745-104-04 of the Administrative Code; or

(3) The date on which a regulated substance is first present above a threshold quantity in a process.

A copy of the initial RMP shall also be submitted to Ohio EPA.

Any such submission shall also include the information required by paragraph (B)(20) of rule 3745-104-42 of the Administrative Code(indicating that the submission is a correction to include the information required by paragraphs (B)(6) and (B)(14) of rule 3745-104-42 of the Administrative Code or an update under rule 3745-104-49 of the Administrative Code).

(E) Nothing in these rules is intended to enlarge or diminish any rights the owner or operator may have to make a claim to USEPA for confidential business information for any such information contained in the RMP that is submitted to USEPA.
