The third section of SARA is Title III — the Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act. Title III established requirements for federal, state, local governments and industry regarding emergency planning and right to know reporting on hazardous and toxic substances. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, the Governor appointed a State Emergency Response Commission (SERC) that is responsible for supervising and coordinating the activities of Local Emergency Planning Committees (LEPCs), establishing procedures for receiving and processing public information requests collected under other sections of the Act, and reviewing emergency response plans. Local emergency management jurisdictions were designated as local emergency planning districts. Therefore, Oakland County was designated by the state commission as a local planning district and, hence, provided nominations for the County's LEPC. The Oakland County LEPC is responsible for preparing emergency response plans, establishing rules, providing public notices of its activities, and establishing procedures for handling public information requests relating to facilities possessing hazardous and/or extremely hazardous substances. Grant The U.S. Department of Transportation has provided grants to the states by the collection of fees from the transportation of hazardous materials. In Michigan, the grants are administered by the Michigan State Police Emergency Management Division and are made available to LEPCs for the purpose of planning. This allocation is dependent upon who in the state applies, the level of federal funding for the program and number of plans submitted. A 20% in-kind match is required, however, no reports are required. The grant amount for Oakland County for the period of October 1, 2005 through September 30, 2006, is up to $6,950.
