Best Answer

The Superfund law authorized the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as the regulatory agency for this process. The Superfund, itself, created the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry. The Superfund is important because it is an attempt, nationally, to clean up the releases of hazardous materials into the public environment. It gives the EPA the jurisdiction to force companies to clean up their messes, and it gives them the ability to sue those who don't comply.

Is NASA an executive agency?

In my experience the term 'executive agency' is for certain bureaus in the British government. Since NASA is a part of the US government it would not be an executive agency under this definition. If you mean, is it an agency falling under the US Executive Branch (under the President) then yes, it falls under the President.
