In 1992, CMA's ad hoc Board Committee on NCRIC reviewed the activities and services of CHEMTREC and submitted recommendations to the Board which were approved as to future goals and directions for the activity. In its restructured fotm, the CHEMTREC Center is now guided by the following vision: "To be recognized by the emergency response community, government agencies, and by hazardous materials shippers, and carriers as tbe most effective chemical emergency information service in the world, and to be recognized by the general public and community agencies as a nationwide, effective source to facilitate chemical product and chemical industry health, safety, environmental and disposal information exchange." EMERGENCY SERVICES: Since 1971, CMA has provided 24-hour, seven-day-a-week informational assistance to first responders to chemical emergencies. The service is available through a toll-free telephone number. In 1980, CMA signed a Statement of Formal Recognition and Attendant Understandings with the US Department ofTransportation that recognizes CHEMTREC as a source oftransportation emergency information. It also encourages DOT and CMA to work toward longer term goals related to hazardous materials incident emergency response. A chemical industry mutual assistance network was added in 1985 to provide timely emergency response and technical assistance at the scene of serious chemical transportation incidents. The service is called CHEMNET and is comprised of emergency response teams from participating chemical producers and private "for hire" emergency response contractors under contract to CMA, but paid for by requesting shippers. Most recently, a medical emergency network was authorized to provide (by establishing a direct contact with medical personnel at the S.F. Regional Poison Control Center) medical advice to physicians treating those exposed to chemicals. Maintenance of appropriate contacts with CHEMTREC registrants, emergency response community contacts and with other government agency and industry contacts with emergency response agendas. NONEMERGENCY SERVICES: In 1985 an additional toll-free service was initiated to provide nonemergency health and safety information about chemicals to the general public and others. The CHEMTREC nonemergency service operates from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. It was designed to take advantage of MSDS and other information already available for emergency purposes to direct callers with nonemergency health safety, and environmental questions to designated representatives at participating chemical companies and government agencies. The staff in this division has the responsibility for publicizing the existence and benefits ofdie various emergency and nonemergency services provide through the Center, such as Responsible Care concepts and public outreach efforts. Maintenance of the MSDSs and other reference materials for the Center. Management ofthe Center's MSDS Public Access program which was established in 1992. -47- CMA 054409 CHEMICAL MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION APPROVED BUDGET FY 93/94 Actual, FY 94/94 Budget end Projected Results Approved FY 95/96 Budget and Program Costs CHEMTREC CENTER & TECHNICAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION REVENUE AND EXPENSES BY LINE ITEM REVENUE; CHEMTREC Registration Fee Open Meetings and Workshops Sale of Material TOTAL REVENUE; STAFF AND RELATED EXPENSES: Salary & Related Expense Employee Benefits Travel & StaffTraining Dues, Subscriptions & Publications Outside Computer Services Meetings &.
