SUMMARY: EPA hereby complies with the requirements of 40 CFR 2.310(h) 
for authorization to disclose to its contractor, Bechtel Environmental, 
Inc. (hereinafter ``Bechtel''), of San Francisco, California and

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-W9-0060, with 
Bechtel and its subcontractor ICF Technology, Inc. for enforcement and 
FOIA support services. EPA Region 9 has determined that disclosure of 
CBI to Bechtel and its subcontractor ICF Technology, Inc. is necessary 
in order that they may carry out the work required by the 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 Bechtel and subcontractor ICF 
Technology, 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 Bechtel and its subcontractor 
ICF Technology, Inc., for performance of the work required by the 
contract. These non-disclosure statements shall be maintained on file 
with the Project Officer. Bechtel and its subcontractor ICF Technology, 
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, James Chang (H-8-2), 75 
Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, CA 94105.

    Dated: October 14, 1994.
