Under SARA, which title covers Reporting Requirements?

• A. Title 2
• B. Title 1
• C. Title 3
• D. Title 4

Answer: (A)

The part of SARA that sets out reporting obligations is the section that amends CERCLA. This piece establishes the reporting requirements facilities must follow, including when and how releases must be reported to federal and state agencies and to the National Response Center. That focus on mandatory reporting to authorities is why this title is the correct one. The other titles handle different areas—emergency planning and pre-incident notifications, and the community-right-to-know/chemical inventory aspects—while Title II specifically codifies the CERCLA-related reporting requirements.
