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-W9-0060, with
Bechtel and its subcontractor ICF Technology, Inc. for enforcement and
FOIA support services. EPA Region 9 has determined that disclosure of
CBI to Bechtel and its subcontractor ICF Technology, Inc. is necessary
in order that they may carry out the work required by the 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 Bechtel and subcontractor ICF
Technology, Inc. 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 Bechtel and its subcontractor
ICF Technology, Inc., for performance of the work required by the
contract. These non-disclosure statements shall be maintained on file
with the Project Officer. Bechtel and its subcontractor ICF Technology,
Inc. 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:
