Amendment to Standards and 

Practices for All Appropriate Inquiries 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Direct final rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is taking direct final 

action to amend the Standards and 

Practices for All Appropriate Inquiries 

to reference a standard practice recently 

made available by ASTM International, 

a widely recognized standards 

development organization. Specifically, 

this direct final rule amends the All 

Appropriate Inquiries Rule to reference 

ASTM International’s E1527–13 

‘‘Standard Practice for Environmental 

Site Assessments: Phase I 

Environmental Site Assessment 

Process’’ and allow for its use to satisfy 

the requirements for conducting all 

appropriate inquiries under the 

Comprehensive Environmental 

Response, Compensation and Liability 

Act. 

DATES: This rule is effective on 

November 13, 2013, without further 

notice, unless EPA receives adverse 

comment by September 16, 2013. If EPA 

receives such comment, we will publish 

a timely withdrawal in the Federal 

Register informing the public that this 

rule will not take effect.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Regulated Entities 

Today’s action offers certain parties 

the option of using an available industry 

standard to conduct all appropriate 

inquiries. Parties purchasing potentially 

contaminated properties may use the 

ASTM E1527–13 standard practice to 

comply with the all appropriate 

inquiries requirements of the 

Comprehensive Environmental 

Response, Compensation and Liability 

Act (CERCLA). Today’s rule does not 

require any entity to use this standard. 

Any party who wants to claim 

protection from liability under one of 

CERCLA’s landowner liability 

protections may follow the regulatory 

requirements of the All Appropriate 

Inquiries Final Rule at 40 CFR part 312, 

use the ASTM E1527–05 Standard 

Practice for Phase I Environmental Site 

Assessments to comply with the all 

appropriate inquiries provision of 

CERCLA, use the ASTM E2247–08 

‘‘Standard Practice for Environmental 

Site Assessments: Phase I 

Environmental Site Assessment Process 

for Forestland or Rural Property,’’ or use 

the recognized in today’s direct final 

rule, the ASTM E1527–13 standard. 

Entities potentially affected by this 

action, or who may choose to use the 

newly referenced ASTM standard to 

perform all appropriate inquiries, 

include public and private parties who, 

as bona fide prospective purchasers, 

contiguous property owners, or 

innocent landowners, are purchasing 

potentially contaminated properties and 

wish to establish a limitation on 

CERCLA liability in conjunction with 

the property purchase. In addition, any 

entity conducting a site characterization 

or assessment on a property with a 

brownfields grant awarded under 

CERCLA Section104(k)(2)(B)(ii) may be 

affected by today’s action. This includes 

state, local and Tribal governments that 

receive brownfields site assessment 

grants. A summary of the potentially 

affected industry sectors (by North 

American Industry Classification 

System (NAICS) codes) is displayed in 

the table below.

The list of potentially affected entities 

in the above table may not be 

exhaustive. Our aim is to provide a 

guide for readers regarding those 

entities that EPA is aware potentially 

could be affected by this action. 

However, this action may affect other 

entities not listed in the table. If you 

have questions regarding the 

applicability of this action to a 

particular entity, consult the person 

listed in the preceding section entitled 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. 

II. Statutory Authority 

This direct final rule amends the All 

Appropriate Inquiries Final Rule setting 

federal standards for the conduct of ‘‘all 

appropriate inquiries’’ at 40 CFR part 

312. The All Appropriate Inquiries Final 

Rule sets forth standards and practices 

necessary for fulfilling the requirements 

of CERCLA section 101(35)(B) as 

required to obtain CERCLA liability 

protection and for conducting site 

characterizations and assessments with 

the use of brownfields grants per 

CERCLA section 104(k)(2)(B)(ii). 

III. Background 

On January 11, 2002, President Bush 

signed the Small Business Liability 

Relief and Brownfields Revitalization 

Act (‘‘the Brownfields Amendments’’). 

In general, the Brownfields 

Amendments to CERCLA provide funds 

to assess and clean up brownfields sites; 

clarifies existing and establishes new 

CERCLA liability provisions related to 

certain types of owners contaminated 

properties; and provides funding to 

establish or enhance State and Tribal 

cleanup programs. The Brownfields 

Amendments revised some of the 

provisions of CERCLA Section 101(35) 

and limit liability under Section 107 for 

bona fide prospective purchasers and 

contiguous property owners, in addition 

to clarifying the requirements necessary 

to establish the innocent landowner 

liability protection under CERCLA. The 

Brownfields Amendments clarified the 

requirement that parties purchasing 

potentially contaminated property 

undertake ‘‘all appropriate inquiry’’ into 

prior ownership and use of property 

prior to purchasing the property in 

order to qualify for protection from 

CERCLA liability. 

The Brownfields Amendments 

required EPA to develop regulations 

establishing standards and practices for 

how to conduct all appropriate 

inquiries. EPA promulgated regulations 

that set standards and practices for all 

appropriate inquiries on November 1, 

2005 (70 FR 66070). In the final 

regulation, EPA referenced, and 

recognized as compliant with the final 

rule, the ASTM E1527–05 ‘‘Standard 

Practice for Environmental Site 

Assessments: Phase I Environmental 

Site Assessment Process.’’ In December 

2008, EPA amended the final rule to 

recognize another ASTM standard as 

compliant with the final rule, ASTM 

E2247–08 ‘‘Standard Practice for 

Environmental Site Assessments: Phase 

I Environmental Site Assessment 

Process for Forestland or Rural 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
49692 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 158 / Thursday, August 15, 2013 / Rules and Regulations 

Property.’’ Therefore, the final rule (40 

CFR part 312) allows for the use of the 

ASTM E1527–05 standard or the ASTM 

E2247–08 standard to conduct all 

appropriate inquiries, in lieu of 

following requirements included in the 

final rule. 

Since EPA promulgated the All 

Appropriate Inquiries Final Rule setting 

standards and practices for the conduct 

of all appropriate inquiries, ASTM 

International published a revised 

standard for conducting Phase I 

environmental site assessments. This 

standard, ASTM E1527–13, ‘‘Standard 

Practice for Environmental Site 

Assessments: Phase I Environmental 

Site Assessment Process,’’ was reviewed 

by EPA, in response to a request for its 

review by ASTM International, and 

determined by EPA to be compliant 

with the requirements of the All 

Appropriate Inquiries Final Rule. 

Today’s direct final rule amends the 

All Appropriate Inquiries Final Rule to 

allow the use of the recently revised 

ASTM standard, E1527–13, for 

conducting all appropriate inquiries, as 

required under CERCLA for establishing 

the bona fide prospective purchaser, 

contiguous property owner, and 

innocent landowner liability 

protections. 

With today’s action, parties seeking 

liability relief under CERCLA’s 

landowner liability protections, as well 

as recipients of brownfields grants for 

conducting site assessments, will be 

considered to be in compliance with the 

requirements for all appropriate 

inquiries, if such parties comply with 

the procedures provided in the ASTM 

E1527–13, ‘‘Standard Practice for 

Environmental Site Assessments: Phase 

I Environmental Site Assessment 

Process.’’ EPA determined that it is 

reasonable to promulgate this 

clarification as a direct final rule that is 

effective immediately, rather than delay 

promulgation of the clarification until 

after receipt and consideration of public 

comments. EPA made this 

determination based upon the Agency’s 

finding that the ASTM E1527–13 

standard is compliant with the All 

Appropriate Inquiries Final Rule and 

the Agency sees no reason to delay 

allowing for its use in conducting all 

appropriate inquiries. 

The Agency notes that today’s action 

does not require any party to use the 

ASTM E1527–13 standard. Any party 

conducting all appropriate inquiries to 

comply with the CERCLA’s bona fide 

prospective purchaser, contiguous 

property owner, and innocent 

landowner liability protections may 

continue to follow the provisions of the 

All Appropriate Inquiries Final Rule at 

40 CFR part 312, use the ASTM E1527– 

05 Standard or use the ASTM E2247–08 

standard. 

In taking today’s action, the Agency is 

allowing for the use of an additional 

recognized standard or customary 

business practice, in complying with a 

federal regulation. Today’s action does 

not require any person to use the newly 

revised standard. Today’s action merely 

allows for the use of ASTM 

International’s E1527–13 ‘‘Standard 

Practice for Environmental Site 

Assessments: Phase I Environmental 

Site Assessment Process’’ for those 

parties purchasing potentially 

contaminated properties who want to 

use the ASTM E1527–13 standard in 

lieu of the following specific 

requirements of the all appropriate 

inquiries final rule. 

The Agency notes that there are no 

legally significant differences between 

the regulatory requirements and the two 

ASTM E1527 standards. To facilitate an 

understanding of the slight differences 

between the All Appropriate Inquiries 

Final Rule, the ASTM E1527–05 Phase 

I Environmental Site Assessment 

Standard and the revised ASTM E1527– 

13 ‘‘Standard Practice for 

Environmental Site Assessments: Phase 

I Environmental Site Assessment 

Process,’’ as well as the applicability of 

the E1527–13 standard to certain types 

of properties, EPA developed, and 

placed in the docket for today’s action, 

the document ‘‘Summary of Updates 

and Revisions to ASTM E1527 Standard 

Practice for Environmental Site 

Assessments: Phase I Environmental 

Site Assessment Process: How E1527–13 

Differs from E1527–05.’’ The document 

provides a comparison of the two ASTM 

E1527 standards. 

By taking today’s action, EPA is 

fulfilling the intent and requirements of 

the National Technology Transfer and 

Advancement Act of 1995 (NTTAA), 

Public Law 104–113. 

Today’s action includes no changes to 

the All Appropriate Inquiries Rule other 

than to add an additional reference to 

the new ASTM E1527–13 standard. EPA 

is not seeking comments on the 

standards and practices included in the 

final rule published at 40 CFR part 312. 

Also, EPA is not seeking comments on 

the ASTM E1527–13 standard. EPA’s 

only action with today’s direct final rule 

is recognition of the ASTM E1527–13 

standard as compliant with the final 

rule and, therefore it is only this action 

on which the Agency is seeking 

comment. 

IV. This Action 

EPA is publishing this direct final 

rule without prior proposal because the 

Agency wants to provide additional 

flexibility for grant recipients or other 

entities that may benefit from the use of 

the ASTM E1527–13 standard. In 

addition, the Agency views this as a 

noncontroversial action and anticipates 

no adverse comment. We believe that 

today’s action is reasonable and can be 

promulgated without consideration of 

public comment because it allows for 

the use of a tailored standard developed 

by a recognized standards developing 

organization and that was reviewed by 

EPA and determined to be equivalent to 

the Agency’s final rule. Today’s action 

does not disallow the use of the 

previously recognized standards (ASTM 

E1527–05 or ASTM E2247–08) and it 

does not alter the requirements of the 

previously promulgated final rule. In 

addition, today’s action will potentially 

increase flexibility for some parties who 

may make use of the new standard, 

without placing any additional burden 

on those parties who prefer to use either 

the ASTM E1527–05 standard, the 

ASTM E2247–08 standard, or follow the 

requirements of the All Appropriate 

Inquiries Final Rule when conducting 

all appropriate inquiries. 

Although we view today’s action as 

noncontroversial, in the ‘‘Proposed 

Rules’’ section of today’s Federal 

Register, we are publishing a separate 

proposed rule containing the 

clarification summarized above. That 

proposed rule will serve as the proposal 

to be revised if adverse comments are 

received. If EPA does not receive 

adverse comment in response to this 

direct final rule prior to September 16, 

2013, this rule will become effective on 

November 13, 2013, without further 

notice. If EPA receives adverse 

comment, we will publish a timely 

withdrawal of this direct final rule in 

the Federal Register, informing the 

public that the rule will not take effect. 

We will address all public comments in 

a subsequent final rule. We will not 

institute a second comment period on 

this action. Any parties interested in 

commenting must do so at this time and 

before September 16, 2013. 

V. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 

51735, October 4, 1993) and Executive 

Order 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 

2011), this action is not a ‘‘significant 

regulatory action’’ and is therefore not 

subject to OMB review. This action 

merely amends the All Appropriate 

Inquiries Rule to reference ASTM 

International’s E1527–13 ‘‘Standard 

Practice for Environmental Site 

Assessments: Phase I Environmental 

Site Assessment Process’’ and allow for 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 158 / Thursday, August 15, 2013 / Rules and Regulations 49693 

its use to satisfy the requirements for 

conducting all appropriate inquiries 

under CERCLA. This action does not 

impose any requirements on any entity, 

including small entities. Therefore, 

pursuant to the Regulatory Flexibility 

Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.), after 

considering the economic impacts of 

this action on small entities, I certify 

that this action will not have a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities. 

This action does not contain any 

unfunded mandates or significantly or 

uniquely affect small governments as 

described in Sections 202 and 205 of the 

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1999 

(UMRA) (Pub. L. 104–4). This action 

does not create new binding legal 

requirements that substantially and 

directly affect Tribes under Executive 

Order 13175 (63 FR 67249, November 9, 

2000). This action does not have 

significant Federalism implications 

under Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 

43255, August 10, 1999). Because this 

action has been exempted from review 

under Executive Order 12866, this final 

rule is not subject to Executive Order 

13211, entitled Actions Concerning 

Regulations That Significantly Affect 

Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use (66 

FR 28355, May 22, 2001) or Executive 

Order 13045, entitled Protection of 

Children from Environmental Health 

Risks and Safety Risks (62 FR 19885, 

April 23, 1997). This action does not 

contain any information collections 

subject to OMB approval under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), 44 

U.S.C. 3501 et seq., nor does it require 

any special considerations under 

Executive Order 12898, entitled Federal 

Actions to Address Environmental 

Justice in Minority Populations and 

Low-Income Populations (59 FR 7629, 

February 16, 1994). 

This action does involve technical 

standards; thus, the requirements of 

Section 12(d) of the National 

Technology Transfer and Advancement 

Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272) does apply. 

The NTTAA was signed into law on 

March 7, 1996 and, among other things, 

directs the National Institute of 

Standards and Technology (NIST) to 

bring together federal agencies as well 

as state and local governments to 

achieve greater reliance on voluntary 

standards and decreased dependence on 

in-house standards. It states that use of 

such standards, whenever practicable 

and appropriate, is intended to achieve 

the following goals: (a) Eliminate the 

cost to the government of developing its 

own standards and decrease the cost of 

goods procured and the burden of 

complying with agency regulation; (b) 

provide incentives and opportunities to 

establish standards that serve national 

needs; (c) encourage long-term growth 

for U.S. enterprises and promote 

efficiency and economic competition 

through harmonization of standards; 

and (d) further the policy of reliance 

upon the private sector to supply 

Government needs for goods and 

services. The Act requires that federal 

agencies adopt private sector standards, 

particularly those developed by 

standards developing organizations 

(SDOs), whenever possible in lieu of 

creating proprietary, non-consensus 

standards. 

Today’s action is compliant with the 

spirit and requirements of the NTTAA. 

Today’s action allows for the use of the 

ASTM International standard known as 

Standard E1527–13 and entitled 

‘‘Standard Practice for Environmental 

Site Assessments: Phase I 

Environmental Site Assessment 

Process.’’ 

The Congressional Review Act, 5 

U.S.C. 801 et seq., generally provides 

that before certain actions may take 

effect, the agency promulgating the 

action must submit a report, which 

includes a copy of the action, to each 

House of the Congress and to the 

Comptroller General of the United 

States. EPA submitted a report 

containing this rule and other required 

information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. 

House of Representatives, and the 

Comptroller General of the United 

States prior to publication of the rule in 

the Federal Register. This action is not 

a ‘‘major rule’’ as defined by 5 U.S.C. 

804(2). This rule is effective on 

November 13, 2013, unless EPA receives 

adverse comment by September 16, 

2013.
