Public Comments Halt EPA’s Recognition of ASTM E1527-21
On March 14, 2022, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a direct final rule approving ASTM International (ASTM) Standard E1527-21 as an additional standard meeting the All Appropriate Inquiry (AAI) component for potential liability protections under the Comprehensive Environmental Response.
While the new ASTM E1527-21 standard was approved by the EPA in March, its adoption hinged on results of the public comment period that ended in mid-April. Having received adverse comments, the agency withdrew the direct final rule.
According to the Federal Registry, the EPA will now respond to the comments and issue a subsequent final action based on its March 14 proposed rule. It will not open a 2nd comment period.
