SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (``EPA'') hereby complies

to the Science Applications International Corporation (``SAIC''), of 
Oakland, California, and its subcontractors, Superfund confidential 
business information (``CBI'') submitted to EPA Region 9.

    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. EPA 
has entered into a contract, No. GS-10F-0076J, delivery order No. 0906, 
with SAIC for Superfund Enforcement Support (``SES-2''). These services 
will be provided to EPA by SAIC and its subcontractors: 2nd Shift Lift 
Services of Lakewood, CA; Jonas and Associates, Inc. of Martinez, CA; 
Mobile Mini Inc. of Rialto, CA; PPC Land Consultants, Inc. of Dixon, 
CA; McDonald Associates of Seiad Valley, CA. EPA has determined that 
disclosure of CBI to SAIC employees, and its subcontractors' employees, 
is necessary in order that SAIC may carry out the work required by that 
contract with EPA. The information EPA intends to disclose includes 
submissions made by Potentially Responsible Parties to EPA in 
accordance with EPA's enforcement activities at Superfund sites. The 
information would be disclosed to the contractor and its subcontractor 
for any of the following reasons: to assist with document handling, 
inventory, and indexing; to assist with document review and analysis; 
to verify completeness; and to provide technical review of submittals. 
The contract complies with all requirements of 40 CFR 2.310(h)(2). EPA 
Region 9 will require that each SAIC employee and subcontractor 
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 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 SAIC and its subcontractors for performance of 
the work required by the contract or upon completion of the contract or 
subcontract.

    Dated: August 19, 2004.

Director, Superfund Division, EPA Region 9.
