 The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) was
 enacted in 1980 and launched the nation's first centralized and substantial commitment to clean
 hazardous waste sites.  CERCLA, popularly known as the Superfund program, provided Federal
 authority and resources to respond directly to releases or potential releases of hazardous substances
 that could endanger human health or the environment.  CERCLA authorized enforcement action and
 cost recovery from those responsible for a release. The Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization
 Act (SARA) was enacted in 1986 and continued the Superfund program by reauthorizing CERCLA
 for an additional five years.

 Establishing policies and procedures for cleaning up hazardous waste involves Congress, the
 Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the public. Under CERCLA and SARA, Congress
 delegated part of its power to write laws and to impose specific requirements to EPA. Some of the
 sections  in CERCLA and SARA specifically order EPA to write rules, other sections leave the
 regulatory decision to EPA management's discretion.


 THE RULEMAKING  PROCESS

 Rules and regulations are developed through the rulemaking process, which is designed to facilitate
 public participation through a notice and comment period. Public notices are placed hi the Federal
 Register describing the proposed rule, with instructions as  to where to send comments and when
 comments are  due.  Participants in the rulemaking process include the regulated community,
 concerned citizens, and private companies contracted by EPA to conduct studies and submit reports
 pursuant to the proposed rule.

 EPA  provides access to the information that influences the rulemaking process by making the
 background materials available to the public in a Public Docket room.  Background materials for a
 specific rulemaking  action can be located in  the rulemaking docket for that regulation.  The
 rulemaking docket also is referred to as the rulemaking record or public docket. Examples of
 documents that are found in a rulemaking docket include Federal Register notices, public comments,
 memoranda, technical support data and press materials. The Superfund Docket is the public viewing
 location for rulemaking materials which support EPA's Superfund program. The Superfund Docket
 also contains Records of Decision for National Priorities List sites.

 1.     NATIONAL CONTINGENCY PLAN DOCKETS

 The National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP) is the regulation that
 implements CERCLA.  The NCP outlines EPA's national program of response to releases of
 hazardous substances. It defines the roles and responsibilities of EPA, other Federal agencies, the
 States, private parties, and communities. It also maps out the entire clean up process.

 The NCP is large in scope and consists of the following sections:

       Subpart A -   Introduction
       Subpart B -   Responsibility and Organization for Response
       Subpart C -   Planning and Preparedness
       Subpart D -   Operational Response Phases for Oil Removal
       Subpart E -   Hazardous Substance Response
       Subpart F -   State Involvement in Hazardous Substance Response
       Subpart G -   Trustees for Natural Resources
       Subpart H -   Participation by Other Persons
       Subpart I -    Administrative Record for Selection of Response Action
       Subpart J -    Use of Dispersants and Other Chemicals
       Subpart K -   Federal Facilities (Reserved)
       Subpart L -   Lender Liability under CERCLA
       Appendix A - Hazard Ranking System
       Appendix B -  National Priorities List
       Appendix C -  Revised Standard Dispersant Effectiveness and Toxicity Tests
       Appendix D -  Appropriate Actions and Methods of Remedying Releases.

 Subparts L and J, and Appendices A and B are addressed in separate Superfund Dockets. The rest
 of the NCP's existing Subparts and Appendices are revised in the NCP Dockets.

2.    HAZARD RANKING SYSTEM DOCKET
The Superfund's Hazard Ranking System (HRS) is a method for identifying risks at each site,
assigning numerical scores to those risks, and comparing the relative severity of risks among sites.
The HRS score is used to determine which sites are placed on the National Priorities List. The HRS
was revised for accuracy in 1990. The HRS docket pertains to revisions of the HRS scoring system.

3.
NATIONAL PRIORITIES LIST DOCKETS
The Superfund program requires that the NCP include a list of sites in the U.S. where the known
or threatened releases of hazardous substances, pollutants, or contaminants make the sites' clean-
up a high priority. The National Priorities List (NPL) constitutes this list. The mechanism for
prioritizing sites is included in the NCP. Additions to and deletions from the NPL are addressed
in the NPL dockets.

Rulemaking materials contained in the NPL dockets include site descriptions, HRS score sheets,
RCRA support documentation, public comments on site listing, and background material on the
NPL. If a site's listing on the NPL list was challenged in the courts, the Superfund Docket will have
that site's  site-specific information which normally is found  only at the Regional Dockets.  In
addition to NPLrulemaking material, a complete collection of the Records of Decision for NPL sites
are maintained at the Superfund Docket as reference material. All other site specific materials are
maintained in individual site files at the Regional Dockets. Regional contacts for NPL dockets
include:

17.   TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE DOCKET
EPA feels that it is important to educate communities located close to hazardous waste sites on
technical issues relevant to cleaning up hazardous waste.  SARA authorizes the President to give
grants to groups that can interpret technical materials and make their information accessible to the
general public. There are rules related to issuing these grants and this docket addresses these.

19.   POLICY DOCKETS
Some Superfund dockets do not propose to amend the existing regulations but address EPA policies
that need public review and comment.  These dockets contain background materials and public
comments on proposed Superfund policies.
19A.  CERCLA MUNICIPAL SETTLEMENT STUDY DOCKET


There are a significant number of Superfund sites that involve municipal wastes. Usually these sites
also involve other Potentially Responsible Parties.  EPA has set forth an interim policy on how
municipalities will be treated during the settlement process for Superfund sites containing municipal
waste. EPA will monitor the implementation of the policy in the Regions to determine whether
changes to the interim policy are warranted.

19B.  CHEMICAL MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION VS. US EPA DOCKETS

In June 1990, EPA announced a new settlement policy for Superfund sites under which EPA would
not enter into settlement agreements where Potentially Responsible Parties (PRPs) that are supposed
to perform the clean-up also would perform the official risk assessment. Having the same party
conduct the clean-up action and risk assessment studies represents a conflict of interest.

19D.  DEFERRAL POLICY DOCKET

The Deferred Listing Policy was proposed in the NCP. Under this proposed policy, sites could be
taken off the National Priorities List if the responsibility for their clean-up was deferred to states or
Federal authorities other than the Superfund Program.  EPA considered a review of this policy.

19E.  RCRA STATE AND LOCAL ASSISTANCE DOCKET

In order to comply with section 3012 of RCRA, EPA has set forth procedures for States to follow
when filing for financial assistance.  Under section 3012, States are to develop inventories of
hazardous waste storage and disposal sites. The inventories include information on site location; the
amount, nature and toxicity of the waste at the sites; names and addresses of site owners; an
identification of the types or techniques of waste treatment disposal used at the sites; and information
regarding site status.
