    This part sets up procedures for EPA to reimburse local governments 
for certain emergency response costs. Local governments may receive up 
to $25,000 to help lighten financial burdens related to emergency 
response to hazardous substance releases. This reimbursement does NOT 
replace funding that local governments normally provide for emergency 
response.
