   The ARARs Short Guidance Quarterly Reports provide an annotated description of all published short
guidance on ARARs.  Short guidance documents on ARARs include Fact Sheets, Q's & A's, Memoranda
resolving ARARs issues, and the Guide to the CERCLA Compliance with Other Laws Manual.  Each Quarterly
Report is comprehensive within that quarter, and each item below is final unless otherwise noted. The ARARs
short guidance documents are designed to supplement, not supplant, the CERCLA Compliance with Other Laws
Manual. This report will expressly note any ARARs short guidance that supercedes information provided in the
CERCLA Compliance with Other Laws Manual.  Single copies of the previous Quarterly Report and these short
guidance documents may be obtained by calling or writing the Superfund Docket and Information Center, U.S.

   The LDR Relevant and Appropriate Fact Sheet discusses the four pertinent factors to compare when
   determining the relevance and appropriateness of LDRs:  (1) the action or activities regulated by the
   requirement and the remedial action contemplated; (2) the purpose of the requirement and the purpose
   of the CERCLA response action; (3) the substances regulated by the requirement and the substances
   found at a CERCLA site; and (4) the medium regulated or affected by the requirement and the medium
   contaminated or affected at the CERCLA site.
