On January 11, 2002, the President signed into law The Small Business Liability Relief and Brownfields Revitalization Act which provided relief for certain small businesses from liability under the Comprehension Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA or "Superfund"). It also amended CERCLA to limit liability concerns for certain private parties engaged in real estate transactions, promote the cleanup and reuse of brownfields, provide financial assistance for brownfields revitalization, enhance State response programs, and for other purposes. The EPA has more information about the Brownfields Law.  The Northeast Midwest Institute is working on support for the re-authorization of this Law.
