Description:
This guidance document updates and clarifies information provided in an earlier guidance document published by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) entitled Guidance for Federal Facilities on Release Notification Requirements under CERCLA and SARA Title III (EPA 9360.7-06; November 1990).1 Since publication of that earlier guidance document, several significant events have occurred that affect the reporting obligations of facilities owned or operated by the Department of Energy (DOE), including the publication of Executive Order 12856- Federal Compliance with Right-to-Know Laws and Pollution Prevention Requirements - and a rejection by the
United States Court of Appeals of EPA’s interpretation of the term “release into the environment.” (See The Fertilizer Institute v. United States Environmental Protection Agency, 935 F.2d 1303, 1309-10 (D.C. Cir. 199l)).
