Mark to Market Program is authorized
under the Multifamily Assisted Housing
Reform and Affordability Act of 1997 as

reduction of Section 8 rent payments
and establishment of adequately funded
accounts to fund required repair and
rehabilitation of the property.

I. Background
HUD environmental regulations state
that ‘‘[i]t is HUD policy that all property
proposed for use in HUD programs be
free of hazardous materials,
contamination, toxic chemicals and
gasses, and radioactive substances,
where a hazard could affect the health
and safety of occupants or conflict with
the intended utilization of the property’’
(24 CFR 50.3(i)(1)). In order to
accomplish this policy, ‘‘HUD shall
require the use of current techniques by
qualified professionals. . .’’ (24 CFR
50.3(i)(4)). Currently, a Phase I ESA in
accordance with ASTM E 1527–05 is
required by several guidance documents
throughout Office of Housing/FHA,
including, but not limited to, the
Multifamily Accelerated Processing
(MAP) Guide, the Condominium Project
Approval and Processing Guide,
Handbook 4600.1 REV–1, Section 232
Mortgage Insurance for Residential Care
Facilities, and Handbook 4615.1,
Mortgage Insurance for Hospitals.
In November 2013, ASTM
International published ASTM E 1527–
13, Standard Practice for Environmental
Site Assessments: Phase I
Environmental Site Assessment Process.
ASTM E 1527–13 defines good
commercial and customary practice in
the United States for conducting an
Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) of
a parcel of commercial real estate with
respect to the range of contaminants
within the scope of the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation
and Liability Act (CERCLA) (42 U.S.C.
9601) and petroleum products. In order
for a defendant to limit liability for a
release of hazardous substances,
CERCLA requires that the defendant has
‘‘no reason to know’’ that the hazardous
substance involved in the release or
threatened release was present. In
establishing no reason to know, the
defendant must be able to show that it
carried out, on or before the date on
which the defendant acquired the
facility, all appropriate inquiries into
the previous ownership and uses of the
facility in accordance with generally
accepted good commercial and
customary standards and practices, and
took other reasonable steps (42 U.S.C.
9601(35)(B)(i)). The standards and
practices that determine whether all
appropriate inquiries have been carried
out are established by regulation by the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
(42 U.S.C. 9601(35)(B)(ii)). On December
30, 2013, the EPA updated these
standards, and allowed parties to use
ASTM E 1527–13 rather than the
previous standard, ASTM E 1527–05 (78
FR 79319).
