administrative record upon which the 

President shall base the selection of a 

response action. CERCLA also requires 

the maintenance of many other records 

including those relevant to cost 

recovery. EPA has granted authorized 

representative status to the State of 

South Dakota Department of 

Environment and Natural Resources. 

Pursuant to 40 CFR 2.310(h)(3), a state 

or local governmental agency which has 

duties or responsibilities under 

CERCLA, or under regulations which 

implement CERCLA, may be considered 

an authorized representative of the 

United States for purposes of disclosure 

of CBI and may be furnished such CBI 

upon the agency’s written request, but 

only if: 

(i) The agency has first furnished to 

the EPA office, having custody of the 

information, a written opinion from the 

agency’s chief legal officer or counsel 

stating that under applicable state or 

local law the agency has the authority 

to compel a business which possesses 

such information to disclose it to the 

agency, or 

(ii) Each affected business is informed 

of those disclosures under this 

paragraph (h)(3) which pertain to it, and 

the agency has shown to the satisfaction 

of an EPA legal office that the agency’s 

use and disclosure of such information 

will be governed by state or local law 

and procedures which will provide 

adequate protection to the interests of 

affected businesses. 

Pursuant to 40 CFR 2.310(h)(4), at the 

time any information is released to a 

state or local government pursuant to 

paragraph 2.310(h), EPA must notify the 

state or local government that the 

information may be entitled to 

confidential treatment and that any 

knowing and willful disclosure of the 

information may subject the state or 

local government and its employees to 

penalties in section 104(e)(2)(B) of 

CERCLA. EPA has determined that SD 

DENR has satisfied the requirements of 

subparagraph 40 CFR 2.310(h)(3)(ii) that 

the agency demonstrate to the 

satisfaction of EPA that the agency’s use 

and disclosure of such information will 

be governed by state or local law and 

procedures which will provide adequate 

protection to the interests of affected 

businesses. EPA hereby advises affected 

parties that they are informed of 

potential disclosures to SD DENR under 

paragraph 40 CFR 2.310(h)(3), and that 

they have ten working days to comment 

pursuant to 40 CFR 2.301(h)(2)(iii), 

incorporated by reference into 40 CFR 

2.310(h)(2).
