-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA hereby complies with the requirements of 40 CFR 2.310(h)
for authorization to disclose to its contractor, Roy F. Weston, Inc.
(hereinafter ``Weston''), of Seattle, Washington, Superfund
confidential business information (``CBI'') which has been submitted to
EPA Region 9, Hazardous Waste Management Division, Office of Superfund

Agency, Region 9, 75 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, CA 94105, (415)

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-W9-0046, with
Weston for enforcement and FOIA support services. EPA Region 9 has
determined that disclosure of CBI to Weston 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 Weston 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 Weston for performance of the
work required by the contract. These non-disclosure statements shall be
maintained on file with the Project Officer. Weston 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, James Chang (H-8-2), 75
Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, CA 94105.
Dated: October 7, 1994.
Jeff Zelikson,
Director, Hazardous Waste Management Division, EPA Region 9.
