Handle credentials, keys, recovery data, and personal information through approved secure channels.\nVerification and evidence\nTie each conclusion back to 40 CFR 68.58(d) (eCFR anchor p-68.58(d)); 40 CFR 68.58(c) (eCFR anchor p-68.58(c)) and to observable material such as facility inventories, inspection records, alarm and shutdown tests, maintenance history, recovery exercises, and corrective actions. Preserve provenance and stable identifiers without copying secrets into the evidence set.\nClose the review only when the evidence, exception handling, resulting action, and after-state are linked. Schedule a new review after material technical, organizational, incident, or source changes; today’s observation is not a continuing guarantee.\nOfficial references\n\n40 CFR 68.58 — Chemical Accident Prevention Provisions — Environmental Protection Agency via eCFR",
