Pennsylvania Act 165, known as the Hazardous Material Emergency Planning and Response Act, is Pennsylvania's legislative version of SARA. Act 165 provides for the establishment of Local Emergency Planning Committees, reporting requirements for hazardous chemical use, storage, and releases, and establishes the Hazardous Material Response Fund. Each year, fees are collected from facilities based on their inventory of hazardous chemicals. These funds are then used to train and equip emergency responders who will be sent to incidents involving the release of hazardous materials.
