Regulatory Update
The National Mining Association (NMA) last week filed comments supporting the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) proposed rule that found that the risk posed by electric power generation, transmission, and distribution facilities does not warrant financial responsibility requirements under Section 108(b) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA). In evaluating this sector, EPA relied on a risk approach comparable to the one that NMA successfully advocated during the first CERCLA 108(b) rulemaking on the hardrock mining industry.
