This manual provides an analysis of the regulatory requirements of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act. Also included are the text of the law, EPA's list of extremely hazardous substances, and the most recent federal registers.

This is an overview of Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA), designed to provide state and local governments and residents with the legal framework to obtain information about potential chemical hazards. From the regulatory obligations of industry to report chemical inventories and quantities of chemicals released into the environment, to tips for easy and accurate form submission, the work demystifies complex codes, puts right-to-know statutes within reach of every citizen and avoids costly enforcement actions for industry.
