EPCRA Fact Sheets
These fact sheets provide an overview of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know-Act (EPCRA) and its reporting requirements.
Revisions to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration Hazard Communication Standards
Fact Sheet: Safety Data Sheets with New OSHA Physical and Health Hazard Classes and Tier II Reporting Issued: December 2018
Revisions to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration Hazard Communication Standards (HCS) Issued: July 2012
EPA issued a fact sheet on the revisions to OSHA HCS due to its adoption of the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS). The fact sheet describes how the changes may affect reporting requirements under EPCRA Section 311 and 312.
Reporting Options for Sections 311 and 312 and Interpretations
EPA provided draft guidance in the preamble to the June 8, 1998, proposed rule (63 FR 31268) to streamline the reporting requirements for facilities under sections 311 and 312 of EPCRA. EPA did not propose any regulatory changes, but sought comments on the reporting options. EPA is now providing guidance on the reporting options. The objective for this guidance is also to provide state and local agencies with flexibility in implementing sections 311 and 312 of EPCRA.
