 On August15,2013, USEPA published a direct final rule in the Federal Register approving use of new ASTM Standard E1527-13, “Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments:  Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process” to satisfy the All Appropriate Inquiry (AAI) requirements under Section101(35)(B) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA)  and set forth in40 CFR312.20.  Performing environmental due diligence in compliance with the AAI requirements provides a basis for property purchasers to assert certain defenses to environmental remediation liability under CERCLA as an innocent purchaser, bona fide prospective purchaser or contiguous landowner.  The rule becomes effective November13,2013 unless USEPA withdraws the approval based on adverse public comments, which appears unlikely.
