The role of LEPCs is to form a partnership between local government and industry as a resource for enhancing hazardous 
materials preparedness.  Local governments are responsible for the integration of hazmat planning and response within 
their jurisdiction.  
Every regulated facility is responsible for identifying a facility emergency coordinator; reporting hazmat inventories annually
to the SERC, LEPC, and local fire department; providing safety data sheets (MSDS) or a list of hazardous chemicals; 
allowing local fire departments to conduct on-site inspection of hazmat facilities; and providing annual report of toxic chemicals 
released, to EPA and the State.
