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
several contracts for enforcement support in relation to the Operating
Industries, Inc. Superfund Site: (1) Contract No. W91238-05-F-0062,
issued to SAIC by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (``CoE'') pursuant
to Interagency Agreement No. DW 96955495 between EPA and the CoE; (2)
Contract No. W91238-07-C-0008 issued to Harry-Torchiana by the CoE
pursuant to Interagency Agreement No. DW 96955495 between EPA and the
CoE; and (3) Task Order 263 issued to CACI, Inc. under the U.S.
Department of Justice's (``DOJ'') MEGA2ALS contract, Contract No. 02-C-
0437, pursuant to Interagency Agreement No. DW-15-95566201-1 between
EPA and DOJ. Enforcement support services will be provided to EPA by
SAIC, Harry-Torchiana, and CACI, Inc. EPA has determined that
disclosure of CBI to SAIC, Harry-Torchiana, CACI, Inc., and their
respective employees, is necessary in order for these companies to
carry out their respective work for EPA under their respective
contracts with the CoE and DOJ, as applicable. The information EPA
intends to disclose includes submissions made by Potentially
Responsible Parties to EPA in accordance with EPA's enforcement
activities at the Operating Industries Inc., Superfund Site. The
information would be disclosed to the above-named contractors 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
respective contracts comply with all requirements of 40 CFR
2.310(h)(2). EPA Region 9 will require that each of the respective
subcontractors' employees with access to CBI 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) will 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) will 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 the
subcontractor for performance of the work required by the subcontract
or upon completion of the subcontract.
