Title: Financial Responsibility Requirements Under CERCLA Section 108(b) for Classes of Facilities in the Hardrock Mining Industry 
Abstract:

Section 108(b) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) of 1980, as amended, establishes certain authorities concerning financial responsibility requirements. In 2009, the Agency published a notice that identified classes of facilities within the hardrock mining industry as those for which financial responsibility requirements will be first developed. EPA has decided not to issue final regulations for the hardrock mining industry because the Agency has determined that final regulations are not appropriate. This decision is based on EPA’s interpretation of the statute and analysis of its record developed for this rulemaking.
