On January 30, 1996, Radian Corporation (Radian) and Dow
Environmental, Inc. (DEI) were merged to form Radian International
Limited Liability Company, a joint venture owned by Hartford Steam
Boiler Inspection and Insurance Company (Radian's parent company) and
the Dow Chemical Company (DEI's parent company). The joint venture
owners have agreed to sell to ERG those assets being used to perform
all of Radian's contracts with EPA. The divestiture is expected to be
completed by June 15, 1996. The purpose of this notice is to announce
the impending transfer of assets from Radian to ERG, and the Agency's
expectation that it will concur, on or soon after the date of
divestiture, in the parties' novation of all affected EPA contracts.
Pursuant to EPA's regulations at 40 CFR part 2, subpart B, EPA
previously determined that Radian requires access to CBI to perform the
work required under the applicable contracts (see the above-referenced
Federal Register notices). The same determinations apply to Radian's
successor, ERG.
Dated: May 30, 1996.
