NOTICE OF REQUIRED DETERMINATIONS, CONTRACT PROVISIONS AND OPPORTUNITY
TO COMMENT: CERCLA, commonly known as ``Superfund,'' requires the
establishment of an administrative record upon which the President
shall base the selection of a response action. CERCLA also requires the
maintenance of many other records, including those relevant to cost
recovery and litigation support. EPA Region I has determined that
disclosure of CBI to its contractors and subcontractors is necessary in
order that they may carry out the work requested under those contracts
or subcontracts with EPA, including: (1) Compilation, organization and
tracking of litigation support documents and information; (2) review
and analysis of documents and information; and (3) provision of
computerized database systems and customized reports. Documents
include, but are not limited to, responses to CERCA Section 104(e)
information requests, contractor invoices, and progress reports. In
[[Page 19399]] performing these tasks, employees of the contractors and
subcontractors listed below will be required to sign a written
agreement that they: (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: (a) upon completion of the
contracts; (b) upon request of EPA; or (c) whenever the information is
no longer required by the contractor or subcontractor for performance
of work requested under those contracts. These nondisclosure statements
shall be maintained on file with the EPA Region I Project Contact for
CACI, Acumenics Research and Technology, Inc. and Aspen Systems
Corporation. CACI, Acumenics and Aspen Systems employees will be
provided technical direction from their respective EPA contract
management staff.
EPA hereby advises affected parties that they have ten working days
to comment pursuant to 40 CFR 2.301(h)(2)(iii) and 40 CFR 2.310(h).
Comments should be sent to Janine Keck Massey, U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, Office of Regional Counsel, RCU, J.F.K. Federal
Building, Boston, MA 02203.
Dated: March 28, 1995.

Regional Administrator.
