SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    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 
documentation upon which the President shall base cost recovery 
actions. EPA has entered into Enforcement Support Services Contract Two 
(2ESS), contract No. 68-W-99-050 with Toeroek for analysis and 
management of these documents. EPA Region 8 has determined that 
disclosure of CBI to Toeroek employees is necessary in order that they 
may carry out the work required under this 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 8 will require that each Toeroek employee 
working on financial analysis and/or cost recovery work 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, (a) Upon completion of the 
contract, (b) Upon request of the EPA, or (c) Whenever the 
information is no longer required by Toeroek for performance of work 
requested under the contract. These non-disclosure statements shall 
be maintained on file with the EPA Region 8 Project Officer for 
Toeroek. All Toeroek employees who will handle CBI will be provided 
technical direction from 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).
