PART 310--REIMBURSEMENT TO LOCAL GOVERNMENTS FOR EMERGENCY RESPONSE TO 
HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE RELEASES--Table of Contents
 
                          Subpart B--Provisions
 
Sec. 310.17  Are there any other requirements?

    (a) You must certify that reimbursement under this regulation does 
not supplant local funds that you normally provide for emergency 
response. This means that the reimbursement you request is for costs you 
would not normally incur; rather, they are for significant, 
unanticipated costs related to a specific incident beyond what you 
normally respond to.
    (b) You must also certify that your response actions are not in 
conflict with CERCLA, the National Contingency Plan (NCP), and the local 
emergency response plan prepared by your Local Emergency Planning 
Committee, if there is one. If you need help with this requirement, 
contact the LGR Help line (800-431-9209) or your EPA regional office.
    (c) You, as a local government, should be included in the local 
emergency response plan completed by your LEPC, as section 303(a) of 
EPCRA requires. This does not apply if your State Emergency Response 
Commission (SERC) has not established an LEPC responsible for the 
emergency planning district(s) that encompasses your geographic 
boundaries.
