Community Congresses

Community Congresses in New Orleans and cities across the country that brought together several thousand current and former New Orleans residents to adopt the Unified New Orleans Plan to rebuild the city after Hurricane Katrina. 

I think [the Community Congress] has done more to bring credibility to the table than all of the little individual meetings that people go to.. . . It s brought the people who were displaced into the process (New Orleans Councilwoman Cynthia Hedge Morrell, quoted in Williamson, 2007, p. 20).

The Ekst Congress after the Constitution was adopted enacted a national copyright statute in 1790. Thereafter, the development of federal copyright law followed a pattern that endures to this day. As developments in technology and forms of mass entertainment, communications, scholarship, and the arts have occurred, the copyright law has been amended to accommodate them. Periodically, a total revision of the copyright statute has been necessary. Such complete revisions occurred in 1831, 1870, 1909, and 1976. 

This is also known as Title III of SARA, EPCRA was enacted by Congress as the mitioiml legislation on community safety.

The origins of the national laboratoiy network can be traced back to the late 1940s and the beginning of the atomic age. At the end of World War II, the scientific community, particularly the staffs from the Manhattan Project laboratories, lobbied Congress for civilian control of atomic power. Toward this end, the federal government transferred authority from the Army to the newly established Atomic Energy... 

Congress amended CERCLA in 1986 with the enactment of the SARA. These amendments improved the Superfund program and added an important section that focused on strengthening the rights of citizens and communities in the face of potential hazardous substance emergencies. This section, SARA Title III, or the EPCRA, was enacted in response to the more than 2000 deaths caused by the release of a toxic chemical in Bhopal, India.

Laws and regulations by their very nature place constraints and burdens on the regulated community. TSCA is no exception. Monsanto s experience with sections 5,8 and 10 of TSCA has, however, indicated that in addition to the burdens imposed by the mandate, there are also tangible benefits. Such benefits help offset some of the burdens and satisfy the intent of Congress as indicated in Section 2(c) of TSCA. "It is the intent of Congress that the Administrator shall carry out this Act in a reasonable and prudent manner, and that the Administrator shall consider the environmental, economic and social impact of any action the Administrator takes or proposes to take under this Act."... 

Emergency response plans (ERPs) are nothing new to chemical industries, since many have developed ERPs to deal with natural disasters, accidents, violence in the workplace, civil unrest, and so on. Because chemical industries are a vital part and ingredient of our way of life, it has been prudent for chemical industries to develop ERPs in order to help ensure the continuous flow of water to the community. However, many chemical industry ERPs developed prior to 9/11 do not explicitly deal with terrorist threats, such as intentional fire, explosion, or contamination. Recently, the U.S. Congress and federal regulators have required chemical industries to prepare or revise, as necessary, an ERP to reflect the findings of their vulnerability assessment and to address terrorist threats.
