SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
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-W4-0021, with
SAIC and its subcontractor TechLaw Inc. for enforcement and FOIA
support services. EPA Region 9 has determined that disclosure of CBI to
SAIC and its subcontractor TechLaw employees 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 2.301(h)(2). EPA Region 9 will
require that each SAIC and subcontractor TechLaw 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 SAIC and TechLaw Inc., for performance of the work required by the
contract. These non-disclosure statements shall be maintained on file
with the Project Officer. SAIC and TechLaw 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:
Environmental Protection Agency, Region 9, Judith Walker (H-8-2), 75
Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, CA 94105.
Dated: May 9, 1994.
Jeff Zelikson,
Director, Hazardous Waste Management Division, EPA Region 9.
