Book Description
EPCRA CFRs Made Easy explains the complex, form-intensive reporting requirements of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA, also known as SARA Title III) and guides you through the EPCRA compliance process detailed in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFRs). Written for organizations and facilities that store chemicals on-site, this reference contains EPCRA and EPCRA-related material from other chemical safety statutes, programs, and agencies, including CFR Titles 29 and 40, the Department of Transportation, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the National Response System, and the 2001 TRI Lead Rule. You'll examine the four major provisions of EPCRA's requirements and their relevant programs. You'll also find numerous sample documents, a sample Form R--the Toxic Chemical Release Inventory Reporting Form, and a sample EPCRA audit checklist. The author also discusses covered substances and facilities, emergency release notification, Tier I and Tier II Chemical Inventory Forms, EPCRA Section 313 reporting requirements, EPCRA trade secrecy, and civil actions and penalties. EPCRA CFRs Made Easy contains a list of 357 extremely hazardous substances, an index by subject area, and directories of EPA regional offices and of State Emergency Response Commission (SERC) and Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) offices and websites.
