Hi Debra,

The Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986 is what you
are looking for. It is under the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization
Act (SARA). This law applies to all facilities that use or store hazardous
materials. SARA Title 313 has a list of chemicals of interest, whereas
reporting is required if the quantity of the chemical of interest exceeds
the reported threshold quantity.

Each state has a Community Right-to-Know reporting / filing scheme. In
NYC, we have the NYC Department of Environmental Protection Community
Right to Know Tier II Online Filing. NYC DEP has a more stringent list
compared to SARA Title 313.

Oregon has its own unique Community Right-to-Know regulations. Here is the
link.
