Members include state, tribal, or local government employees as well as private sector representatives with Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know (EPCRA) program responsibilities, such as health, occupational safety, first response, environmental, and emergency management. The membership is dedicated to working together to prepare for possible emergencies and disasters involving hazardous materials, whether they are accidental releases or a result of terrorist attacks.

We feel strongly that EPA should withdraw this proposal. Timothy R Gablehouse President 410 17th St, Ste 1375 Denver CO 80202 (303) 572-00501 ...
