Local Emergency Planning Committees are appointed by the State Emergency Response Commissions. LEPCs consist of representatives of all of the following groups and 
organizations:
LEPC’s develop an emergency plan to prepare for and respond to chemical emergencies. Because the LEPC’s members represent the community, they should be familiar with factors that affect public safety, the environment, and the economy of the community. The LEPC’s receive emergency releases and hazardous chemical inventory information submitted by local facilities, and must make this information available to the public upon request. It must establish and publicize procedures for handling these requests. LEPCs have the authority to request additional information from facilities for their own planning purposes or on behalf of others. LEPCs may want to visit facilities in the community to find out what they are doing to reduce hazards, prepare for accidents, and reduce hazardous inventories and releases. In addition to its formal responsibilities, the LEPC serves as a focal point in the community for information and discussions about hazardous substances, emergency planning, and health and environmental risks.
