    summary: EPA hereby complies with the requirements of 40 CFR 2.310(h) 
    for authorization to disclose to its contractor, Ecology & Environment, 
    Inc. (hereinafter ``E & E''), of Seattle, Washington, Superfund 
    confidential business information (``CBI'') which has been submitted to 
    EPA Region 9, Hazardous Waste Management Division, Office of Superfund 
    Programs.
    
    For further information contact: Travis L. Cain, Office of Superfund 
    Programs, Environmental Protection Agency, Region 9, 75 Hawthorne 
    Street, San Francisco, CA 94105, (415) 744-2341.
    
    Notice of required determinations, contract provisions and opportunity 
    to comment: The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and 
    Liability Act of 1980 (``CERCLA'') as amended, (commonly known as 
    ``Superfund'') requires completion of enforcement activities at 
    Superfund sites in concert with other site events. The Freedom of 
    Information Act (FOIA) requires that EPA provide requested information 
    to other parties. EPA has entered into a contract, No. 68-W9-0020, with 
    ``E & E'' for enforcement and FOIA support services. EPA Region 9 has 
    determined that disclosure of CBI to ``E & E'' is necessary in order 
    that they may carry out the work required by that contract with EPA. 
    The contract complies with all requirements of 40 CFR 2.301(h)(2)(ii), 
    incorporated by reference into 40 CFR 2.310(h)(2). EPA Region 9 will 
    require that each ``E & E'' employee sign a written agreement that he 
    or she: (1) will use the information only for the purpose of carrying 
    out the work required by the contract, (2) shall refrain from 
    disclosing the information to anyone other than EPA without the prior 
    written approval of each affected business or of an EPA legal office, 
    and (3) shall return to EPA all copies of the information (and any 
    abstracts or extracts therefrom) upon request from the EPA program 
    office, whenever the information is no longer required by ``E & E'' for 
    performance of the work required by the contract. These nondisclosure 
    statements shall be maintained on file with the Project Officer. ``E & 
    E'' employees will be trained on Superfund CBI requirements.
        EPA hereby advises affected parties that they have ten working days 
    to comment pursuant to 40 CFR 2.301(b)(2)(ii), incorporated by 
    reference into 40 CFR 2.310(h)(2). Comments should be sent to: 
    Environmental Protection Agency, Region 9, Travis L. Cain (H-8-2), 75 
    Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, CA 94105.
    
        Dated: October 14, 1994.
    Jeff Zelikson,
    Director, Hazardous Waste Management Division, EPA Region 9.
