SUMMARY: This is a notice to persons who have submitted information to

Liability Act of 1980, as amended (CERCLA). EPA has contracted with
TechLaw, Inc. as a primary contractor to perform work for EPA Region I
(Contract No. 68-W4-0019). In order to do this work, the contractor
will be provided access to certain information submitted to EPA under
CERCLA section 104. Some of these materials may have been claimed to be
confidential business information (CBI) by submitters. This information
will be transferred to TechLaw, Inc. consistent with the requirements
of 40 CFR 2.310(h)(2). Access to this information by TechLaw, Inc. is
necessary for the performance of this contract.
DATES: Comments must be provided on or before June 7, 1994. The
transfer of data submitted under CERCLA section 104 and claimed to be
confidential will occur no sooner than 10 working days after
publication of this notice in the Federal Register.

U.S. v. Federal Pacific Electronics, Inc., et al., including document
preparation for litigation (bate stamping of documents, preparation of

Pursuant to 40 CFR 2.310(h)(2), the contractor is legally required
to safeguard this information from any unauthorized disclosure. In

prohibits the use of the information for any purpose not specified in
the contract, prohibits disclosure of the information in any form to a
third party without prior written approval from EPA, and requires the
return to EPA of all copies of the information upon request by EPA,
whenever the information is no longer required by the contractor for
the performance of the contract, or upon completion of the contract.
Each employee of the contractor who will have access to the information
has been or will be required to sign a written agreement honoring the
terms specified in the contract, before they have access to any
confidential information. Pursuant to 40 CFR 2.310(h)(2), EPA is
providing notice and an opportunity to comment to affected parties who
have submitted CBI regarding this Site. These parties have five (5)
business days from the publication of this Notice in which to comment
on the anticipated release of this information to EPA's contractor.
Dated: May 16, 1994.
