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 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. EPA has entered into Enforcement

Support Services (ESS) contract No. 68-W4-0025 with TechLaw for

management of these records. EPA Region 8 has determined that

disclosure of CBI to TechLaw employees is necessary in order that they

may carry out the work requested under this contract with EPA. The

contract complies with all requirements of 40 CFR 2.301(h)(2)(ii) and

40 CFR 2.310(h). EPA Region 8 will require that each TechLaw employee

working on cost recovery work 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, (a) upon completion of the contract,

(b) upon request of the EPA, or (c) whenever the information is no

longer required by TechLaw for performance of work requested under the

contract. These non-disclosure statements shall be maintained on file

with the EPA Region 8 Project Officer for TechLaw. TechLaw employees

will be provided technical direction from 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 Environmental Protection Agency, Region 8,

Carol Macy, 8HWM-SR, 999 18th St, Denver, Colorado 80202.

Dated: May 9, 1994.
