Guidelines on Issue resolution through correspondence, talks, and data exchange

In the world of environmental regulation, the Model Notice Letters have played a significant role in the Superfund programme. Here's a brief overview of the history and current status of these important documents.

The Model Notice Letters guidance was first introduced on February 7, 1989. Since then, this document has been a valuable resource for those navigating the complexities of Superfund oversight. However, it's important to note that this guidance has been superseded twice, with the first instance occurring on July 26, 1996.

As of the present, a document titled "Interim Guidance on Notice Letter, Negotiations, and Information Exchange" is available. This comprehensive guide, weighing in at 3.03 MB, offers valuable insights into the current practices surrounding notice letters, negotiations, and information exchange within the Superfund oversight framework.

While a search of the Superfund oversight news and demand notice letters category within the Superfund oversight policies and guidelines database did not yield information about the current publisher of the revised model notice letters, the interim guidance document serves as a useful stand-in until further updates are provided.

In conclusion, the Model Notice Letters guidance has a rich history and continues to be a vital resource in the Superfund oversight community. The current interim guidance provides valuable insights into the latest practices, and we will eagerly await any updates regarding the revised model notice letters.
