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.
Facilities must submit an annual inventory of these chemicals by March 1 of each year to their State Emergency Response Commission (SERC), Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC), and local fire department. The information submitted by facilities is made available to the public.
