This is a good overview of the recent CSB requirement developed in response to a court order.

Operating Experience Level 3 2020-02: New Chemical Accident Reporting Requirements

https://opexshare.doe.gov/lesson.cfm/2020/5/6/32695/Operating-Experience-Level-3-2020-02-New-Chemical-Accident-Reporting-Requirements

This Operating Experience Level 3 (OE-3) document provides information on a new requirement imposed by the U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board (CSB) to report certain accidental releases of chemicals. The CSB requires reporting of any accidental release into the ambient air that results in a fatality, serious injury, or substantial property damage. This new reporting requirement is distinct and separate from other release reporting requirements from other governmental agencies. This OE-3 document includes the applicability criteria for reporting an accidental release, steps to report the release, and a recommendation to update protocols and procedures.
