    Notice of Required Determinations, Contract Provisions and 
Opportunity to Comment: The Comprehensive Environmental Response, 
Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (``CERCAL'') 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-0168J, delivery order No. 0901, 
with TechLaw, Inc. for Superfund Enforcement Support Services-Emergency 
Response Enforcement (``SESS9-ERE''). These services will be provided 
to EPA by SAIC and its subcontractors: Jonas and Associates, Inc. of 
Martinez, CA and PPC Land Consultants, Inc. of Dixon, 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: October 25, 2004.
Nancy Lindsay,
Deputy Director, Superfund Division, Region 9.
