[Aimee Houghton <aimeeh@cpeo.org>]

As of today I still have not been able to locate a copy of the summary
for H.R. 3262. However the following excerpt from Gannett News Service
highlights some of the bill's provisions:

"Among the bill's provisions:

-- Focusing on permanent cleanups of sites so they can be reused.

-- Making large-scale polluters pay for cleanups.

-- Protecting children and their health.

-- Involving communities in the cleanup process.

-- Requiring that health assessments or other services be performed
at facilities.

-- Giving people the right to know about substances to which they
might be exposed.

-- Ensuring that sites in economically distressed areas be cleaned
up as quickly as sites in other areas.

-- Providing grants to help clean up urban "brownfields. ""
