Superfund Amendments of 1985. A report submitted to the House of Representatives, Ninety-Ninth Congress, First Session, October 31, 1985
The Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries reviewed titles I and II of H.R. 2817, a bill to amend the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (Superfund) of 1980 in regard to oil pollution and the treatment of claims and compensation in the event of an oil spill. The bill is in response to a required reauthorization, and represents an effort to better coordinate the procedures and interactions of diverse agencies as well as to improve the safety and protection from environmental damage and the compensation to those injured by such damage. The report reviews and analyzes proposed changes in the existing law and summarizes the background and effects on pollution insurance.
