The Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) must develop an emergency response plan, review the plan at least annually, and provide information about chemicals in the community to citizens. Plans are developed by the LEPC with stakeholder participation.

              • Environment, Transportation, and Hospital Officials
              • Tier2 Reporting Facility Representatives
