(EPCRA), authorized by Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA Title III), was passed in 1986 in response to concerns regarding the environmental and safety hazards posed by the storage and handling of toxic chemicals. These concerns were triggered by the 1984 disaster in Bhopal, India, caused by an accidental release of methylisocyanate. The release killed or severely injured more than 2000 people.</p> <p>To reduce the likelihood of such a disaster in the United States, Congress imposed requirements for federal, state, and local governments, tribes, and industry. These requirements covered emergency planning and "Community Right-to-Know" reporting on hazardous and toxic chemicals. The Community Right-to-Know provisions help increase the public's knowledge and access to information on chemicals at individual facilities, their uses, and releases into the environment. States and communities, working with facilities, can use the information to improve chemical safety and protect public health and the environment.</p> <p><span>Section 2018 of the America’s Water Infrastructure Act (AWIA), enacted on October 23, 2018, amended the emergency release notification and the hazardous chemical inventory reporting requirements of EPCRA. This new legislation requires state and tribal emergency response commissions to notify the applicable State agency (i.e., the drinking water primacy agency) of any reportable releases and provide community water systems with hazardous chemical inventory data. These requirements went into effect immediately upon signing the law.</span></p> <p>For more information, see <a href="/laws-regulations/summary-emergency-planning-community-right-know-act">Summary of EPCRA</a> and <a data-entity-substitution="canonical" data-entity-type="node" data-entity-uuid="2ba00f61-329a-4066-96ea-0b25296fb47f" href="/epcra/emergency-planning-and-community-right-know-act-non-section-313-regulations-and-amendments">EPCRA Regulations and Amendments</a>.</p> <p><strong>On this page:</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="#video">[Video] Protecting Communities from Chemical Accidents: Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act</a></li> <li><a href="#Key%20Provisions%20of%20EPCRA">Key Provisions of EPCRA</a></li> <li><a href="#awia">EPCRA Amendments Under America's Water Infrastructure Act</a></li> <li><a href="#table">Table of EPCRA sections, Regulation Citations, and Statute References</a></li> </ul> <p><a id="video" name="video"><iframe height="315" scrolling="no" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/oQlwXSlJRgQ" width="560"></iframe></a></p> <p><a href="https://youtu.be/oQlwXSlJRgQ">[Video] Protecting Communities from Chemical Accidents: Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act</a> </p> <h2><a id="Key%20Provisions%20of%20EPCRA" name="Key%20Provisions%20of%20EPCRA"></a>Key Provisions of EPCRA</h2> <p><strong><a data-entity-substitution="canonical" data-entity-type="node" data-entity-uuid="d6a655e5-bc1f-41cf-85be-84cd112e16cd" href="/epcra/emergency-planning">Sections 301 to 303.
