BUTLER, CLERK On October 17, 1986, Congress enacted the Emergency Planning and Community Right -to -Know Act (EPCRA). At the State level, the Florida Division of Emergency Management (FDEM) serves as the lead agency responsible for oversight and coordination of the local planning efforts required by EPCRA. Chaired by the Director of FDEM, the State Emergency Response Commission for Hazardous Materials (SERC) serves as a technical advisor and information clearinghouse for State and Federal hazardous materials (HazMat) programs. Additionally, the SERC conducts quarterly public meetings in varying locations throughout the State. Currently, SERC membership consists of Governor appointed individuals who represent the interests of State and local government, emergency services, industry. and the environment. A portion of EPCRA is the requirement to perform Hazards Analyses (HA) of chemical facilities with Extremely Hazardous Substances (EHS). FDEM has provided the HA Grant Program to ensure this requirement is met by providing assistance to grant recipients. This requirement falls on the Local Emergency Planning Committees (LEPCs) which were created by EPCRA, however in addition to LEPCs, FDEM offers the grant to Florida Counties who wish to perform their own HAs due to Florida's Home Rule status. The Grant Recipient will provide completed and approved HA data to local LEPCs and first responders to enhance information flow and enhance the safety of responders to an emergency which includes a facility with EHS chemicals. The Recipient shall conduct Hazards Analyses (HA) on-site visits for 50% of the facilities listed in Attachment H which have reported to the SERC the presence of those specific Extremely Hazardous Substances (EHSs) designated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in quantities above the Threshold Planning Quantity (TPQ). The data collected under this Agreement will be used to comply with the planning requirements of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986, Title III, "Emergency Planning and Community Right - To -Know Act of 1986" and the Florida Emergency Planning and Community Right -To -Know Act, Florida Statutes, chapter 252, Part II. 17
