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.
