    This regulation implements the ``citizen award'' authority granted 
by Congress to the President in the 1986 Amendments to the Comprehensive 
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), 
section 109(d). As authorized in the Superfund Amendments and 
Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA) section 109(c) and Executive Order 
No. 12580 (issued by the President on January 23, 1987), the 
Environmental Protection Agency is empowered to pay up to $10,000.00 
from the Superfund to any individual who provides information leading to 
the arrest and conviction of any person for a violation subject to a 
criminal penalty under CERCLA as amended.
