Sara Title III - Community Right-To--Know: Sara Title III is often used as shorthand for emergency or accidental spill reports such as the EPA ERNS Database. Community Right-To-Know often is used to refer to corporate reporting requirements for chemicals and other hazards maintained at plant sites. In fact, SARA Title III and Community Right-To--Know are one in the same. SARA Title III refers to a section of the Superfund amendments that were passed in 1986 and Emergency Planning and Community Right-To-Know is the more descriptive name for many of those provisions. The Emergency Planning and Community Right-To-Know Act (EPCRA) was passed in response to the release of methyl isocyanate from a chemical plant in Bhopal India in 1984. The general idea of EPCRA was to provide communities in this country with information about businesses that maintain or work with potentially toxic materials and to establish emergency planning procedures at the local level to deal with accidental releases of these materials. The basis of the laws is a number of information of reporting requirements imposed on the businesses that handle toxic materials.
