Transmittal of Guidance on Use and Enforcement of CERCLA Information Requests and Administrative Subpoenas

摘要

The directive provides an overview of the information gathering tools under CERCLA section 104(e) and 122(e)(3), and focuses on the steps to be taken throughout the information gathering process to ensure that EPA is in the strongest position possible to enforce the information gathering or subpoena. The guidance replaces existing guidance entitled, 'Policy on Enforcing Information Requests in Hazardous Waste Cases,' dated September 10, 1984, to the extent that the previous guidance addresses information gathering under CERCLA section 104(e), directive no. 9834.4.
