Abstract | In 1986 Congress passed a law to help local communities, including Indian reservations, protect public health and safety and the environment from chemical hazards. This law, the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act, known as Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA), requires that detailed information about the nature of hazardous substances in or near reservations be made available to the public and that comprehensive emergency plans be prepared to deal with chemical accidents. This bulletin is intended to make Indian leaders familiar with Title III requirements and provide guidance for complying with Title III. The bulletin is divided into three parts: (1) How Title III Works; (2) Resources Available to Tribal Emergency Response Commissions (TERCs) and Local Emergency Planning Committees (LEPCs) Implementing Title III; and (3) Everyone Is Involved in Title III. |
