From Joel R. Burcat & Arthur K. Hoffman, “The Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986: An Explanation of Title III of SARA”. From the Environmental Law Reporter. According to Sidney Wolf “The concern about trade secrets appears unwarranted….In the first year of TRI reporting, the EPA indicated that for over 19,000 facilities submitting TRI reports, only twenty-eight filed forms with trade secret claims.” http://www.law.fsu.edu/journals/landuse/vol112/wolf.html#FNR468
