2.301(h) and 40 CFR 2.310(h) and intends to authorize certain
contractors and subcontractors access to Confidential Business
Information (``CBI'') which has been submitted to EPA Region 10, under

Notice of Required Determinations, Contract Provisions and
Opportunity To Comment
CERCLA, 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 and
litigation support.
EPA Region 10 has determined that disclosure of CBI to its
contractors and subcontractors is necessary in order that they may
carry out the work requested under those contracts or subcontracts with
EPA, including (1) compilation, organization and tracking of litigation
support documents and information, (2) review and analysis of documents
and information, and (3) provision of computerized database systems and
customized reports. Documents include, but are not limited to,
responses to CERCLA Section 104(e) information requests, contractor
invoices, and progress reports. In performing these tasks, employees of
the contractors and subcontractors listed below will be required to
sign a written agreement that they: (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 contracts; (b) upon request of the EPA; or (c)
whenever the information is no longer required by the contractor or
subcontractor for performance of work requested under those contracts.
These nondisclosure statements shall be maintained on file with the EPA
Region 10 Project Officer for Science Application International Corp.
(SAIC), and the EPA Region 10 Project Contact for CACI, Acumenics
Research and Technology, Inc. and Aspen Systems Corporation. SAIC,
CACI, Acumenics and Aspen Systems employees will be provided technical
direction from their respective 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,
