National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan; Involuntary Acquisition of Property by the Government

On September 30, 1996, the Asset Conservation, Lender Liability, and Deposit Insurance Protection Act (``Asset Conservation Act'' or ``Act''), 110 Stat. 3009-462 (1996), reinstated regulations pertaining to liability under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, (CERCLA), for the involuntary acquisition of property by governmental entities. The regulations were codified at 40 CFR 300.1105 in 1992, but were subsequently vacated by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia.
