Authority To Compromise Civil Claims Under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act and To Make an Administrative Change to the Code of Federal Regulations

Resumen

This rule amends our regulations to reflect the name of the Environment and Natural Resources Division, which was formerly known as the Land and Natural Resources Division. The Department of Justice officially changed the name of the Division in the early 1990s, but all of the pertinent parts of part 0 were not amended accordingly. This order further amends our regulations to authorize the Assistant Attorney General for the Environment and Natural Resources Division to approve certain settlements under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA).
