Demystify: 

My Friends,

A 2 cents worth of historical perspective.

When this well-meaning but misguided legislation hit the proverbial fan, what a lot of businesses/industrial site did was to copy all their MSDSs and sent large number of boxes of them to the local fire department. The Chief didn't know what to do with them, so they ended up in a basement somewhere.

The discouraging aspect of this is more than 35 years after SARA regulations went into force, municipalities across this country (think West, TX, for example) still are not aware of/using the power of the Community Right to Know rules. I live in a state where the state really has pushed these rules down to the smallest community. While some may complain about the "nanny state" the leadership out of Sacramento has helped every community know what chemicals and to a large degree, what chemical processes, are present in the community.

For me, this is a real plus.
