SUMMARY: EPA Region I hereby complies with the requirements of 40 CFR 
2.301(h) and 40 CFR 2.310(h) and intends to authorize access to 
Confidential Business Information (CBI) which has been submitted to EPA

NOTICE OF REQUIRED DETERMINATIONS, CONTRACT PROVISIONS AND OPPORTUNITY 
TO COMMENT: CERCLA, commonly known as ``Superfund,'' requires the 
establishment of an 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 and litigation support. EPA Region I has determined that 
disclosure of CBI to its contractors and subcontractors is necessary in 
order that they may carry out the work requested under those contracts 
or subcontracts with EPA, including: (1) Compilation, organization and 
tracking of litigation support documents and information; (2) review 
and analysis of documents and information; and (3) provision of 
computerized database systems and customized reports. Documents 
include, but are not limited to, responses to CERCA Section 104(e) 
information requests, contractor invoices, and progress reports. In 
[[Page 19399]] performing these tasks, employees of the contractors and 
subcontractors listed below will be required to sign a written 
agreement that they: (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 
contracts; (b) upon request of EPA; or (c) whenever the information is 
no longer required by the contractor or subcontractor for performance 
of work requested under those contracts. These nondisclosure statements 
shall be maintained on file with the EPA Region I Project Contact for 
CACI, Acumenics Research and Technology, Inc. and Aspen Systems 
Corporation. CACI, Acumenics and Aspen Systems employees will be 
provided technical direction from their respective 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). 
Comments should be sent to Janine Keck Massey, U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency, Office of Regional Counsel, RCU, J.F.K. Federal 
Building, Boston, MA 02203.

    Dated: March 28, 1995.
John P. DeVillars,
Regional Administrator.
