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 
reference into 40 CFR 2.310(h)(2). Comments should be sent to: 
Environmental Protection Agency, Region 9, Travis L. Cain (H-8-2), 75 
Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, CA 94105.
