Summary

Directs the Administrator of the U.S. Fire Administration to review existing response information used by emergency response personnel at the State and local levels to evaluate its accuracy, consistency, and clarity.

Directs the Administrator to establish a working group to develop and disseminate hazardous materials identification, response, and incident data. Requires such working group to submit a report to the Administrator, along with recommendations to ensure that response information disseminated to emergency response personnel is appropriate for operational personnel at the local level.
