	Roadblock Removed \| Business Xpansion Journal (BXJ)
		Provided that the purchaser seeking BFPP status follows the statutory guidelines, he may be shielded from liability, notwithstanding his knowledge of the property's contamination prior to purchase.
		A BFPP must be in compliance with any land use restrictions established or relied on in connection with a response action that was taken to clean the property that the purchaser bought.
		A BFPP must also provide full cooperation, assistance and access to persons who are authorized to conduct response actions or natural resource restoration at a facility from which there had been a release — i.e., a brownfield.

	CIRE Magazine :: New Legislation Encourages Developers to Clean Up Brownfields
		The BFPP conducted an appropriate inquiry into the previous ownership and uses of the facility âin accordance with generally accepted good commercial and customary standards and practices.â By January 2004, the Environmental Protection Agency will issue a regulation establishing the standards and practices necessary to satisfy the requirements for an appropriate inquiry.
		The BFPP cooperates, assists, and provides access to persons that are authorized to conduct environmental remediation activities, or response actions, on the property.
		The BFPP is not already potentially liable for response costs at the facility or affiliated with any other PRP through any direct or indirect familial, contractual, financial, or corporate relationship.

		The CERCLA BFPP Defense Prior to the 2002 Brownfield Amendments, the principal defense to CERCLA liability that was available to purchasers or occupiers of contaminated property was the Innocent Purchaser defense.
		To eliminate this obstacle to redevelopment of brownfields, the Brownfield Amendments created the BFPP defense for landowners or tenants who knowingly acquire or lease contaminated property after January 11, 2002. Only those parties that qualify for the BFPP defense are potentially subject to the windfall lien.
		The first excluded use is when the BFPP plans to use the property for residential purposes provided that the seller and he BFPP are non-governmental and non-commercial entities (i.e., homeowner-to-homeowner sales. The second excluded use is when the BFPP acquires the property to create or preserve a public park, greenspace, recreational or similar public purpose.

	Bilateral Frontal Polymicrogyria: Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center - Boston, Hospital, walsh lab, christopher walsh
		Bilateral Frontoparietal Polymicrogyria (BFPP) is a newly recognized genetic disorder with autosomal recessive inheritance.
		With BFPP, the polymicrogyria is primarily found in the front and the parietal lobes of the brain.
		We are interested in continuing to enroll families with BFPP or a similar picture on brain imaging studies into our research to locate additional genes involved in polymicrogyria and to determine the prevalence of mutations in this locus among families with BFPP.

	Spencer Fane Britt & Browne LLP - Windfall or Deadfall: Will EPAs (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		To qualify for the BFPP exemption from Superfund liability, a buyer must be free of any "financial relationship" with the seller or any other PRP, and must conduct a Phase I environmental assessment before purchasing the property.
		The new law allows a BFPP to satisfy the lien "by sale or other means." Perhaps EPA eventually will establish a procedure that will allow a prospective buyer to pay off EPA at closing in return for a lien waiver.
		BFPPs who purchase contaminated property before EPA issues clarifying guidance or regulations may find themselves liable for more of a "windfall" than they actually received.

	FOCUS - April 2, 2004 - NEUROLOGY: Mutation Suggests Novel Signaling Mechanism in Brain Development
		In patients homozygous for a mutation causing BFPP, a rare inherited disorder of the brain, the frontal and parietal lobes are thinner than normal and are twisted into numerous small folds (polymicrogyria).
		BFPP, which is inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion, causes the frontal and parietal lobes of the cortex to develop poorly.
		In 2002, Walsh and colleagues traced the BFPP mutations to a region on chromosome 16.

	Heller Ehrman - Industry News
		The BFPP exemption is distinguishable from the long available "innocent land owner defense," in that a landowner can qualify for the BFPP exemption even if she knew of contamination on the property prior to purchasing it.
		This language arguably suggests that Congress recognized that a BFPP may purchase a property on which a continuing release existed and intended to exempt that purchase from liability so long as reasonable steps were taken.
		In sum, the presence of a leaking structure on a property clouds the picture as to whether the BFPP exemption is a complete shield from liability for the developer seeking to purchase that property.

		Bilateral frontoparietal polymicrogyria (BFPP), a recessive genetic disorder characterized by mental retardation, gait difficulty, language impairment, and seizures, results in severely abnormal architecture of the brain's frontal lobes, as well as milder involvement of parietal and posterior parts of the cerebral cortex.
		In this new study, lead author Xianhua Piao and colleagues used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to identify BFPP patients, and then used linkage analysis, homozygosity mapping, and candidate gene analysis to identify the BFPP gene as GPR56, located on an area of chromosome 16.

	OVERVIEW OF THE SMALL BUSINESS LIABILITY RELIEF AND BROWNFIELDS REVITALIZATION ACT OF 2002
		The relevant provision in the Act provides that a BFPP, whose potential liability for a release or threatened release is based solely on the purchaser being considered to be an owner or operator of a facility, shall not be liable as long as the BFPP does not impede the performance of a response action.
		This lien is meant to avoid allowing a BFPP to profit from use of money from the Superfund to finance a response action on their property that is not recovered by the United States from the PRPs.
		As noted, the BFPP defense is available to a person who, as a result of pre-acquisition appropriate inquiry, knew or had reason to know of a release or threatened release.

		A genomewide linkage screen revealed a single locus that was identical by descent in affected children in both families and showed a single disease-associated haplotype, suggesting a common founder mutation.
		The locus for BFPP maps to chromosome 16q12.2-21, with a minimal interval of 17 cM.
		This study provides the first genetic evidence that BFPP is an autosomal recessive disorder and serves as a starting point for the identification of the responsible gene.

		The BFPP defense is available to persons who, after conducting "all appropriate inquiry," become aware of contamination on the property but meet certain conditions and obligations regarding it.
		The stated intent of the Brownfields amendments was to expand liability protection for persons seeking to redevelop properties previously unmarketable due to potential environmental concerns in the vicinity.
		However, because the AAI standard (unlike the Phase I standard) is a specific statutory and regulatory creation, it imposes additional obligations (e.g., to mitigate risks, to comply with agency directives, and to prevent further migration of contaminants) as conditions of keeping the liability exemption.

		The BFPP defense allows persons who, after conducting “all appropriate inquiry,” become aware of contamination on the property, and allows them to avoid CERCLA liability provided that certain other conditions and obligations are met.
		The Brownfields amendments made that requirement applicable to the new CPO and BFPP defenses, established a series of interim guidelines to determine the scope of an appropriate inquiry, and directed EPA to develop a regulation based on these statutory factors.
		In many cases, other issues and concerns dominate the diligence landscape that are not part of a current ASTM or AAI review (such as compliance with law, the presence or absence of wetlands or endangered species, asbestos, toxic mold, etc.).

	Jones Waldo: EPA Publishes Final All Appropriate Inquiry Rule
		A showing of "all appropriate inquiry" into the environmental condition of the property, prior to purchase, is a prerequisite to establishing these landowner liability protections.
		When Congress amended CERCLA in 2002 to add the BFPP and contiguous property owner liability protections, Congress directed EPA to promulgate regulations to address the standards and practices necessary to meet the all appropriate inquiry requirement and included a list of criteria that EPA must include in the regulation.
		Sampling is not required, but sampling may be valuable in determining the possible presence and extent of potential contamination at a property or to explain data gaps.

		A person or entity that can establish BFPP status is not liable under CERCLA for cleanup costs as an owner of contaminated property even if that person or entity had knowledge of actual or threatened contamination prior to purchase.
		The threshold requirement for achieving BFPP status is performance of what is characterized as “all appropriate inquiry” (“AAI”) prior to acquiring the property.
		As of November 2006, however, simply obtaining a traditional Phase I and/or Phase II assessment of property will not be sufficient to achieve the substantial environmental liability protections of BFPP status.

		Case law has established that even a lessee may be an “owner” under CERCLA if the lessee knew or should have known of the presence of contamination on the property at the time the lease was initiated.
		While a BFPP must meet several criteria, the most critical for the purposes of this article is the requirement that a person make “all appropriate inquiry” into the previous ownership and uses of the property.
		The standard established by the BFPP exemption for a Phase I ESA is the ASTM Standard E 1527-97, and it should be specified in the consultant’s contract for any Phase I investigation.

	New Brownfields Guidance on Bona Fide Prospective Purchasers and Agreements With the EPA
		At the end of June 2002, the United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") issued new guidance (the "BFPP Guidance") clarifying the scope and application of the prospective purchaser provisions1 of the Brownfields amendments to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 ("CERCLA"), 42 U.S.C. et seq.
		The person is not potentially liable, or affiliated with any other person who is potentially liable, for response costs at a facility through any direct or indirect familial relationship or any contractual, corporate or financial relationship, or the result of a reorganization of a business entity that was potentially liable.
		Section 107(r) provides that those who qualify for BFPP status are no longer liable under CERCLA merely by virtue of their status as an "owner" or "operator" of a facility.

		Section 9607(r)(2) provides alternative means for BFPPs to recompense EPA for its unrecovered response costs without the imposition of a lien.
		The BFPP can compensate EPA directly, provide some other assurance that EPA’s response costs will be recouped, or opt to perform the cleanup plan itself.
		In these situations, the BFPP will most likely pay the Government some consideration in exchange for the release from the windfall lien.
