Applicability of EPCRA Tier II
The Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) Tier II reporting requirement applies to facilities that store hazardous chemicals above specific threshold quantities. Facilities with 10,000 pounds or more of a hazardous chemical requiring a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) under OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard must submit an annual Tier II report. Lower thresholds apply to extremely hazardous substances (EHS) listed under EPCRA’s Section 302.
Tier II reports provide critical information to local emergency planning committees (LEPCs), state emergency response commissions (SERCs), and fire departments to enhance emergency preparedness. Compliance ensures first responders have the necessary data to handle chemical emergencies safely, protecting workers, communities, and the environment while helping facilities avoid penalties.
