Comparison: State vs. Federal

• Rules. Missouri follows the federal emergency planning requirements to establish the emergency planning and response requirements for facilities that are required to comply with the federal Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA).

Missouri's right-to-know statutes and regulations generally mirror federal rules, with some additional reporting requirements.
