Comparison: State vs. Federal

• Rules. Tennessee follows federal EPCRA requirements for submitting MSDSs to TEMA and LEPCs.

Tennessee is a "state plan" state; that is, it has a federally-approved occupational safety and health regulatory program that applies to both public (state, county, and local agencies and governments) and private (private businesses and nonprofit organizations) sector employers. Tennessee has adopted the federal hazard communication requirements, and additional requirements for missing MSDSs that are stricter than federal standards.

• Administration and enforcement. TEMA implements the community right-to-know requirements in the state and is the repository of all records and data generated as a result of the requirements of EPCRA in Tennessee. DOLWD administers and enforces occupational safety and health, including MSDS requirements, in both the private and public sector workplaces.
