I believe that this is a good piece of legislation that will promote the cleanup and reuse of business and industrial sites that now stand essentially abandoned. I would just like to clarify one point. I note that throughout much of the Bill any reference to 'States' is accompanied by a reference to 'Indian Tribes'. However, this is not the case in section 129(b)(1)(B)(ii), as added by section 301 of the Bill, regarding federal enforcement actions in the event of contamination migrating across a State line. Could the Senator confirm that it is the intention of the legislation that references in that section to 'States' should extend to 'Indian Tribes'?
