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-W9-0054, with
URS and its subcontractors B & V Waste Science and Technology Corp.,
Med-Tox Associates, Inc., and Shannon & Wilson, Inc. for enforcement
and FOIA support services. EPA Region 9 has determined that disclosure
of CBI to URS and its subcontractors B & V Waste Science and Technology
Corp., Med-Tox Associates, Inc. and Shannon & Wilson, Inc. 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 2.310(h)(2). EPA
Region 9 will require that each URS and subcontractors B & V Waste
Science and Technology Corp., Med-Tox Associates, Inc. and Shannon &
Wilson, 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 URS and its subcontractors B &
V Waste Science and Technology Corp., Med-Tox Associates, Inc., and
Shannon & Wilson, Inc., for performance of the work required by the
contract. These non-disclosure statements shall be maintained on file
with the Project Officer. URS and its subcontractors B & V Waste
Science and Technology Corp., Med-Tox Associates, Inc., and Shannon &
Wilson, 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
