        This  office  is  in  the process of revising the State
   Participation  manual  to ensure its accuracy and consistency with
   directives  issued  over  the past year.  Appendix E, "Model Statement
   of  Work  for a  State-Lead RI/FS Project," has been updated to
   reflect  changes  in acronyms,  modifications in the procurement
   process  by  which  an  A/E firm  is contracted by the State to perform
   the  RI/FS,  and  changes  in  the Agency's formal technical guidance
   on  RI/FS activities.   Appendix B reflects a similar update and
   provides the most  current  procedures for the preparation of Action
   Memoranda,  which  are  optional internal documents that  Regions may
   use  to  approve  remedial  activities at hazardous waste  sites.
   The  version of  Appendices  B and E which you currently  have should
   be  discarded and  be  replaced  with these attachments.
