MyRMP Program 2 Guidance Materials
Version 4.0

This innovative suite of web-based tools is the fourth generation of guidance developed exclusively to assist agricultural retailers with implementing their Risk Management Program and in preparation of their Risk Management Plan (RMP). MyRMP is an update based on the Retail Guidance Manual for Program 2 Facilities originally published by The Fertilizer Institute in 1998. Expanded to include several new components, MyRMP incorporates the base of original information in the federal rule with the accumulated knowledge gained by industry since 1999 and experiences of working with the different Regions of the Environmental Protection Agency.

The MyRMP Program 2 Guidance Materials are sponsored by The Fertilizer Institute and was developed cooperatively with the Asmark Institute. This innovative approach to industry-specific guidance is supported by U.S. EPA. This suite of compliance assistance tools has been specifically developed to provide retailers with industry-standard information to assist in the preparation and maintenance of the Risk Management Program for their facility.

Based on the experience since 1999 with RMP compliance, the task force responsible for developing MyRMP noticed one common deficiency that prevents genuine compliance at retail locations, which is a lack of understanding and basic knowledge of the Risk Management Program rule by the facility personnel. Any performance-oriented requirement is only as good as its implementation. Accordingly, MyRMP has been developed with a special emphasis on education and personalizing the experience and materials to a specific facility.

Please note that additional information may be required to supplement the information provided based upon the specific circumstances found at each facility. Management or supervisors who are in direct contact with, and responsible for, a group of employees are essential to effective implementation of the provisions of the Risk Management Program.
