Obtained Under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation 
and Liability Act to EPA Contractor Roy F. Weston, Inc.

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice; request for comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: EPA hereby complies with the requirements of 40 CFR 2.310(h) 
for authorization to disclose to its contractor, Roy F. Weston, Inc. 
(hereinafter ``Weston''), of Seattle, Washington, Superfund 
confidential business information (``CBI'') which has been submitted to 
EPA Region 9, Hazardous Waste Management Division, Office of Superfund 
Programs.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
James Chang, Office of Superfund Programs, Environmental Protection 
Agency, Region 9, 75 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, CA 94105, (415) 
744-2338.

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-W9-0046, with 
Weston for enforcement and FOIA support services. EPA Region 9 has 
determined that disclosure of CBI to Weston 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 Weston 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 Weston for performance of the 
work required by the contract. These non-disclosure statements shall be 
maintained on file with the Project Officer. Weston 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, James Chang (H-8-2), 75 
Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, CA 94105.

    Dated: October 7, 1994.
Jeff Zelikson,
Director, Hazardous Waste Management Division, EPA Region 9.
