Amendment to Standards and 

Practices for All Appropriate Inquiries 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is amending the 

standards and practices for conducting 

all appropriate inquiries under the 

Comprehensive Environmental 

Response, Compensation and Liability 

Act (CERCLA) to remove the reference 

to ASTM International’s E1527–05 

standard practice. This 2005 standard 

practice was replaced with an updated 

standard, the E1527–13, by ASTM 

International, a widely recognized 

standards development organization. 

Specifically, EPA is amending the ‘‘All 

Appropriate Inquiries Rule’’ to remove 

the reference to ASTM International’s 

E1527–05 ‘‘Standard Practice for 

Environmental Site Assessments: Phase 

I Environmental Site Assessment 

Process.’’ 

DATES: The effective date for this action 

is October 6, 2015.

I. Regulated Entities 

The EPA is removing the reference to 

the 2005 ASTM standard in the All 

Appropriate Inquiries Rule at 40 CFR 

part 312 (70 FR 66070, as amended). In 

November 2013, ASTM International 

replaced its 2005 standard (ASTM 

E1527–05 ‘‘Standard Practice for 

Environmental Site Assessments: Phase 

I Environmental Site Assessment 

Process’’) with an updated standard, 

ASTM E1527–13 ‘‘Standard Practice for 

Environmental Site Assessments: Phase 

I Environmental Site Assessment 

Process.’’ The updated 2013 standard is 

a currently recognized industry 

consensus-based standard to conduct all 

appropriate inquiries as provided under 

CERCLA. In December 2013, EPA 

published a final rule indicating that 

parties who acquire potentially 

contaminated properties and 

brownfields grantees using EPA 

brownfield grant funding to conduct site 

characterizations and assessments may 

use the ASTM E1527–13 standard 

practice when conducting all 

appropriate inquiries pursuant to 

CERCLA (78 FR 79319). Today’s rule 

does not include any changes to the 

standards and practices included in the 

All Appropriate Inquiries Rule (AAI 

Rule). Any party who wants to meet the 

provisions under CERCLA to conduct 

all appropriate inquiries may follow the 

standards and procedures set forth in 

the AAI Rule at 40 CFR part 312 or use 

the new ASTM E1527–13 standard, as 

provided in the AAI Rule. 

Persons potentially affected by this 

action are those who perform all 

appropriate inquiries, including public 

and private entities who intend to claim 

protection from CERCLA liability as 

bona fide prospective purchasers, 

contiguous property owners, or 

innocent landowners. In addition, any 

person conducting a site 

characterization or assessment on a 

property with a brownfields grant 

awarded under CERCLA section 

104(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.

entities that EPA is aware potentially 

could be affected by this action. 

II. Statutory Authority 

Today’s action, which amends the 

AAI Rule at 40 CFR part 312 setting 

Federal standards for the conduct of ‘‘all 

appropriate inquiries,’’ is authorized 

under section 101(35)(B) of CERCLA (42 

U.S.C. 9601), as amended by the Small 

Business Liability Relief and 

Brownfields Revitalization Act of 2002. 

III. Background 

On January 11, 2002, President Bush 

signed the Small Business Liability 

Relief and Brownfields Revitalization 

Act, Public Law 107–118 (‘‘the 

Brownfields Amendments’’), which 

amended CERCLA. In general, the 

Brownfields Amendments provide 

funds to assess and clean up 

brownfields sites; clarify CERCLA 

liability provisions related to certain 

purchasers of contaminated properties; 

and provide funding to enhance state 

and tribal cleanup programs. Subtitle B 

of the Brownfields Amendments added 

new limitations on CERCLA liability 

under section 107 for bona fide 

prospective purchasers and contiguous 

property owners and clarified the 

requirements necessary to establish the 

innocent landowner defense under 

CERCLA. The Brownfields Amendments 

also revised section 101(35) of CERCLA 

to provide that parties acquiring 

contaminated or potentially 

contaminated property must undertake 

‘‘all appropriate inquiries’’ into prior 

ownership and use of the property prior 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
60088 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 193 / Monday, October 6, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 

to acquisition to qualify for protection 

from CERCLA liability. 

The Brownfields Amendments further 

directed EPA to develop regulations 

establishing standards and practices for 

conducting all appropriate inquiries. On 

November 1, 2005, EPA promulgated 

regulations that established standards 

and practices for all appropriate 

inquiries (70 FR 66070). In the AAI 

Rule, EPA referenced the existing ASTM 

E1527–05 ‘‘Standard Practice for 

Environmental Site Assessments: Phase 

I Environmental Site Assessment 

Process’’ and authorized its use to 

comply with the rule. On December 23, 

2008, EPA revised the AAI Rule to 

recognize another ASTM International 

standard as compliant with the 

standards and practices set forth in the 

AAI Rule, ASTM E2247–08 ‘‘Standard 

Practice for Environmental Site 

Assessments: Phase I Environmental 

Site Assessment Process for Forestland 

or Rural Property’’ (73 FR 78716). 

In November 2013, ASTM 

International published ASTM E1527– 

13, ‘‘Standard Practice for 

Environmental Site Assessments: Phase 

I Environmental Site Assessment 

Process.’’ In early 2013, at ASTM 

International’s request, EPA reviewed 

this standard and determined that a 

person’s use of the standard would be 

compliant with the AAI Rule. 

On December 30, 2013, EPA 

published a final rule which provided 

that persons conducting all appropriate 

inquiries may use the procedures 

included in ASTM E1527–13 to comply 

with the AAI Rule (78 FR 79319). On 

June 17, 2014, EPA published a 

proposed rule (79 FR 34480) proposing 

to amend the AAI Rule to remove the 

reference to ASTM E1527–05 Phase I 

Environmental Site Assessment 

Standard. 

IV. Summary of Comments and EPA 

Responses 

In response to the June 17, 2014 

proposed rule (79 FR 34480), EPA 

received five comments. Four of the 

comments were supportive of the 

proposed rule. The sole negative 

comment asserted that the principal 

difference between the E1527–05 

standard and the E1527–13 standard is 

the inclusion of a requirement to 

evaluate the potential presence of vapor 

releases under the E1527–13 standard. 

The commenter further stated that 

because vapor releases are not by 

themselves a CERCLA concern, EPA 

should continue to allow for the use of 

the E1527–05 standard. EPA disagrees 

with this comment. The scope of the 

AAI Rule and the ASTM E1527–05 

standard always included the 

requirement to identify all indications 

of releases and threatened releases of 

hazardous substances, or ‘‘recognized 

environmental conditions (RECs),’’ 

including indications of vapor migration 

or vapor releases. With the updates 

included in the 2013 version of the 

ASTM E1527 standard, ASTM modified 

the definition of migration to 

specifically include vapor migration and 

remove any confusion regarding the 

need to identify all RECs, or all 

indications of releases or threatened 

releases of hazardous substances, when 

conducting an AAI investigation. 

Two of the commenters who 

supported EPA’s proposed rule 

recommended in their comments that 

EPA delay the effective date of the final 

rule until six months after the 

publication date, rather than the one 

year delay proposed by EPA. Although 

EPA agrees with the commenters’ 

statements that most environmental 

professionals are likely already using 

the updated E1527–13 standard, the 

Agency believes it is prudent to provide 

for the one year delay in the effective 

date. The AAI Rule requires that AAI 

investigations be conducted within one 

year prior to the date of acquisition of 

the subject property (see 40 CFR 

312.20(a)). In addition, the AAI Rule 

requires that certain aspects of the AAI 

investigation be conducted or updated 

within 180 days prior to the date of 

acquisition of the subject property (40 

CFR 312.20(b)). Given these 

requirements, EPA determined that 

delaying the effective date for the final 

rule by only six months may be 

burdensome for some parties. Therefore, 

the effective date for this final rule, 

which removes the reference to the 

ASTM E1527–05 standard, will be 

October 6, 2015 allowing sufficient time 

for AAI investigations initiated or ongoing at the time of publication of 

today’s rule to be completed or updated 

prior to the effective date. 

V. Overview of Today’s Action 

EPA is amending the AAI Rule at 40 

CFR 312 to remove the reference to 

ASTM International’s E1527–05 

‘‘Standard Practice for Environmental 

Site Assessments: Phase I 

Environmental Site Assessment 

Process.’’ In November 2013, ASTM 

International designated this standard a 

‘‘historical standard’’ and replaced it 

with the updated ASTM E1527–13 

‘‘Standard Practice for Environmental 

Site Assessments: Phase I 

Environmental Site Assessment 

Process.’’ 

Today’s action does not prevent 

parties from continuing to use other 

standards, methods, or customary 

business practices for conducting all 

appropriate inquiries, so long as they 

comply with the standards and practices 

set forth in the AAI Rule. Instead, 

today’s proposed action removes the 

reference to a standard that ASTM 

International no longer recognizes as 

current since it no longer represents the 

most recent consensus-based standard. 

EPA is taking this action because the 

Agency wants to reduce any confusion 

associated with the regulatory reference 

to a historical standard that is no longer 

recognized by its originating 

organization as meeting its standards for 

good customary business practice. In 

addition, we believe that today’s final 

rule will promote the use of the 2013 

standard currently recognized by ASTM 

International as the consensus-based, 

good customary business standard. 

Today’s action includes no further 

changes to the AAI Rule other than to 

remove the reference to the historical 

ASTM E1527–05 standard. It does not 

impact the reference to the recently 

revised ASTM standard, E1527–13 in 

the AAI Rule. It also does not impact 

parties who acquired properties 

between November 1, 2005 and the 

effective date of this final rule and used 

the 2005 ASTM standard (ASTM 

E1527–05) to comply with the AAI Rule, 

as it was in effect at the time the 

property was acquired. 

VI. Effective Date of Final Action 

Today’s action is a final rule. The EPA 

anticipates that some parties, at this 

time may still be using the historical 

standard (ASTM E1527–05) to comply 

with the provisions of the AAI Rule. 

Therefore, the Agency is delaying the 

effective date of today’s final action for 

one year to provide parties with an 

adequate opportunity to complete AAI 

investigations that may be ongoing and 

to become familiar with the updated 

industry standard (ASTM E1527–13). 

The effective date of today’s final rule, 

which will remove the reference to 

ASTM E1527–05 in the AAI rule, is 

October 6, 2015. 

VII. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory 

Planning and Review 

This action is not a ‘‘significant 

regulatory action’’ under Executive 

Order (EO) 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 

4, 1993), and is therefore not subject to 

review under Executive Orders 12866 

and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 

2011). 

B. Paperwork Reduction Act 

This action will not impose an 

information collection burden under the 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 193 / Monday, October 6, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 60089 

provisions of the Paperwork Reduction 

Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. Burden is 

defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). The current 

regulation does not have an information 

collection burden and today’s action’s 

only change to the regulation is to delete 

the reference to a historical standard 

that recently was replaced with an 

updated version of the standard. A final 

rule referencing the updated version of 

the standard was published by EPA on 

December 30, 2013 (78 FR 79319). 

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act 

The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) 

generally requires an agency to prepare 

a regulatory flexibility analysis for any 

rule subject to notice and comment 

rulemaking requirements under the 

Administrative Procedure Act or any 

other statute; unless the agency certifies 

that the rule will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities. Small entities 

include small business, small 

organizations, and small governmental 

jurisdictions. 

Today’s action does not change the 

current regulatory status quo and does 

not impose any regulatory requirements. 

After considering the economic impacts 

of today’s final rule on small entities, I 

certify that this action will not have a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities. 

D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

This action contains no Federal 

mandates under the provisions of Title 

II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform 

Act of 1995 (UMRA), 2 U.S.C. 1531– 

1538 for state, local, or tribal 

governments or the private sector. This 

action imposes no enforceable duty on 

any state, local or tribal governments or 

the private sector. This action merely 

removes a reference to a historical 

voluntary consensus standard. The final 

rule imposes no new regulatory 

requirements and will result in no 

additional burden to any entity. 

Therefore, this action is not subject to 

the requirements of sections 202 or 205 

of UMRA. 

As stated above, this final rule also is 

not subject to the requirements of 

section 203 of UMRA because it 

contains no new regulatory 

requirements that might significantly or 

uniquely affect small governments. 

E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism 

This action does not have federalism 

implications. Today’s final rule will not 

substantially change the current 

regulation; it merely removes a 

reference to a historical voluntary 

consensus standard. It will not have 

substantial direct effects on the states, 

on the relationship between the national 

government and the states, or on the 

distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government, as specified in EO 

13132. Thus, EO 13132 does not apply 

to this rule. 

F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation 

and Coordination With Indian Tribal 

Governments 

This action does not have tribal 

implications, as specified in EO 13175 

(65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000). This 

action merely removes a reference to a 

historical voluntary consensus standard. 

Today’s final rule does not change any 

current regulatory requirements and 

therefore will not impose any impacts 

upon tribal entities. Thus, EO 13175 

does not apply to this action. 

G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of 

Children From Environmental Health 

Risks and Safety Risks 

EPA interprets EO 13045 (62 FR 

19885, April 23, 1997) as applying only 

to those regulatory actions that concern 

health or safety risks, such that the 

analysis required under section 5–501 of 

the EO has the potential to influence the 

regulation. This action is not subject to 

EO 13045 because it does not establish 

an environmental standard intended to 

mitigate health or safety risks. 

H. Executive Order 13211: Actions 

Concerning Regulations That 

Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution, or Use 

Today’s final rule is not subject to EO 

13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001), 

because it is not a significant regulatory 

action under EO 12866. 

I. National Technology Transfer and 

Advancement Act 

Section 12(d) of the National 

Technology Transfer and Advancement 

Act of 1995 (NTTAA), Public Law 104– 

113, 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 note) directs 

EPA to use voluntary consensus 

standards in its regulatory activities 

unless to do so would be inconsistent 

with applicable law or otherwise 

impractical. Voluntary consensus 

standards are technical standards (e.g., 

materials specifications, test methods, 

sampling procedures, and business 

practices) that are developed or adopted 

by voluntary consensus standards 

bodies. The NTTAA directs EPA to 

provide Congress, through OMB, 

explanations when the Agency decides 

not to use available and applicable 

voluntary consensus standards. 

This action involves technical 

standards. Therefore, the requirements 

of section 12(d) of the NTTAA (15 

U.S.C. 272) 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), wherever possible in lieu of 

creating proprietary, non-consensus 

standards. 

Today’s final rule complies with the 

NTTAA as it allows persons conducting 

all appropriate inquiries to use the 

procedures included in the updated 

ASTM International standard known as 

Standard E1527–13 and entitled 

‘‘Standard Practice for Environmental 

Site Assessments: Phase I 

Environmental Site Assessment 

Process’’ to comply with the AAI Rule. 

The rule also deletes reference to a 

standard that is no longer recognized as 

current by the standards developing 

organization responsible for its 

development. 

J. Executive Order 12898: Federal 

Actions To Address Environmental 

Justice in Minority Populations and 

Low-Income Populations 

Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, 

Feb. 16, 1994), establishes federal 

executive policy on environmental 

justice. Its main provision directs 

federal agencies, to the greatest extent 

practicable and permitted by law, to 

make environmental justice part of their 

mission by identifying and addressing, 

as appropriate, disproportionately high 

and adverse human health or 

environmental effects of their programs, 

policies, and activities on minority 

populations and low-income 

populations in the United States. 

EPA has determined that this final 

rule will not have disproportionately 

high and adverse human health or 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
60090 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 193 / Monday, October 6, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 

environmental effects on minority or 

low-income populations because it does 

not affect the level of protection 

provided to human health or the 

environment. Today’s action merely 

removes a reference to a historical 

voluntary consensus standard and does 

not impose any new requirements. 

K. Congressional Review Act 

The Congressional Review Act, as 

added by the Small Business Regulatory 

Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, 

generally provides that before a rule 

may take effect, the agency 

promulgating the rule must submit a 

rule report, which includes a copy of 

the rule, to each House of the Congress 

and to the Comptroller General of the 

United States. EPA will submit 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. A major rule 

cannot take effect until 60 days after it 

is published 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 October 6, 2015.
