the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability 
Act to EPA Contractor Black and Veatch Waste Science (BVWS)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

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

SUMMARY: EPA hereby complies with the requirements of 40 CFR 2.301(h) 
and 40 CFR 2.310(h) for authorization to disclose to its contractor, 
BVWS, Kansas City, Missouri, cost recovery support documentation for 
the Des Moines TCE Superfund Site. This disclosure includes 
Confidential Business Information (CBI) which has been submitted to EPA 
Region VII, Superfund Division. BVWS's principal office is at 6601 
College Blvd., Overland Park, Kansas 66211.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Glenn Curtis, Superfund Division, U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency, 726 Minnesota Avenue, Kansas City, 
Kansas 66101, (913) 551-7726.
    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. EPA has entered into ARCS Contract No. 68-W8-0064 for 
management of those records. EPA Region VII has determined that 
disclosure of CBI to BVWS is necessary in order that the contractor may 
carry out the work requested under the above 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 VII will require that each BVWS employee 
working on cost recovery work sign a written agreement that he or she:
    (1) Shall 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 regional office; and
    (3) Shall return to EPA all copies of the information and any 
contracts 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 BVWS for performance of work requested under the 
contract. These non-disclosure statements shall be maintained on file 
with the EPA Region VII Project Officer for BVWS. BVWS employees will 
be provided technical direction from their respective EPA contract 
management staff.
    EPA hereby advises affected parties that they have ten (10) working 
days to comment pursuant to 40 CFR 2.301(h)(2)(ii) and 40 CFR 2.310(h). 
Comments should be sent to: Glenn Curtis, U.S. Environmental Protection 
Agency, Region VII, 726 Minnesota Avenue, Kansas City, Kansas 66101.

    Dated: July 26, 1995.
William Rice,
Acting Regional Administrator.
