Tier II Reporting

Overview:

The Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) was signed into federal law in 1986. Title III of SARA is known as the Emergency Planning and Community Right-To-Know Act (EPCRA). The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) enforces SARA Title III. The regulations implementing SARA Title III are codified in Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Parts 350 through 372. The Governor of each State was charged with creating a State Emergency Response Commission.

Tier II is an annual federal report that is mandatory for companies that store hazardous materials.

Facilities are required to provide Tier II information to the following three (3) entities:

• The Alabama Emergency Response Commission (AERC) - Electronic submission to ADEM of the Tier II report using E-Plan or Tier2Submit will fulfill this requirement.  https://tier2.erplan.net/onlinefiling/filingLogin.htm
