oEPA United States October Environmental Protection 1989 Agency Pesticides and Toxic Substances (TS-799) "What ft Means To You " A Videotape On The Emergency Planning And Community RightTb-Know Act 745F89001 ------- The Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act became federal law in 1986. Also known as Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act, this law deals with the public's right to know about toxic chemicals present in a community and those released into the local environment. The law contains far-reaching provisions that, in effect, have created a new partnership among governments at the federal, state, and local level; industry; environmental groups; and the general public in planning for and responding to chemical accidents. What It Means to You is a 15-minute videotape that tells businesses and community members about actions they can take to learn about chemicals in the community and steps they can take to plan for the possibility of chemical accidents. Viewers also learn how to obtain information about any routine releases of toxic chemicals that may take place. The videotape, produced by EPA, provides a straightforward, non-technical introduction to the law, outlining its far-reaching scope, and touching on a number of key provisions that are not yet widely known or used. The videotape may be broadcast by local TV stations, used as background for news programs, or shown in schools, libraries, and town meetings. Accompanying each tape is a copy of the EPA pamphlet, Chemicals In Your Community, which contains a more detailed guide to provisions of the law.
