MEMORANDUM

ROM:
TO:
Henry L. Longest I
Director, OERR

OERR Staff
    PURPOSE:  The purpose of this memorandum is to direct OERR staff to
uniformly number, print and control ALL Superfund publications*

    BACKGROUND:  "Superfund publications" encompass the entire programmatic and
outreach range of OERR activities.  This includes but is not limited to:

           policies
           procedures
           directives
           program instructions
           guidance
           manuals
           intermittent bulletins
           fact sheets and short sheets
           directories
           brochures
           special reports
           announcements

    Other documents are also being prepared which are widely circulated and
may be considered as "publications."  ALL SUPEUUKD PUBLICATIONS MUST CONFORM
TO THESE
     To achieve Che measure of management control stipulated In the
Implementation Plan of the 90-Day Study, each Division must identify and be
responsible for its total publications bibliography.  The Publications
Standards Work Group has been tasked with preparing specifications and
recommending managment controls so that all documents can be uniformly
developed.  The final result must be that each Superfund publication is
correctly prepared, has a publication number, inventory address, and printing
control is centralized.

                     IMPLEMENTATION:   The  following  seeps are  to  be  implemented immediately:

                       (1)   Staff should immediately categorize their work products that qualify
                 as publications.

                        (2)   The  Superfund Documents Coordinator  (SDC) will give each document a
                 publication number and an inventory location  upon initiation, and will
                 coordinate  the printing and  distribution process.   The publication number must
                 appear on the document. Any  docuaent act displaying this number will be
                 returned to originator and will not be  signed until properly processed.

                       (3)   All OERR  printing order  forms for  the reproduction of Superfund
                 publications mumt be signed  by the  SDC  before they  will be accepted by the
                 agency printing  offices in Headquarters or in Cincinnati.  The entire printing
                 package, including the printing request, distribution plan, and caaera-ready
                 copy of the document oust be sent to the SDC  for signature and forwarding  to
                 the printing office. Again,  documents  not following this procedure will be
                 returned to the  originator.   The SDC is charged  with ensuring chac final
                 documents are correctly packaged, that  sufficient inventory is printed, and
                 with resolving with  agency printing officers  any scheduling, quality, or any
                 special printing requirements.

                     Staff who are uncertain  as  to whether  a document qualifies as a
                 "publication" or who need assistance in any aspect  of  the above implementation
                 should contact Betti VanEpps,  the SDC,  at  475-8864.
