MEMORANDUM
SUBJECT: Pata .Handling Support for CERCLIS
FROM: Henry L. Longest II, Director a .-
Office of Emergency and Remed ial^f expanse (WH-548)
TO: Addressees
This memorandum implements policies and procedures regarding management
of the data handling support for CERCLIS provided by the Computer Sciences
Corporation (CSC). A recent analysis by OERR's Information Management
Task Group concluded that the remaining budget for FY 1986 cannot support
the current level of effort. Therefore, I must issue an interim realloca-
tion for the remainder of FY 1986 and take other steps to improve the
management of these important resources.
The data handling support is funded by OERR to provide Regional
Superfund programs with resources to collect, enter, and maintain CERCLIS
data. To date, the delivery order has been managed in Headquarters
without considerable input from Regional Superfund staff. This is
inconsistent with my priority to work closely with you to improve
information management through the Superfund Management Systems project.
Regional responsibilities for information management will expand in the
near future when most quantitative reporting for management accountability
(e.g. SPMS, SCAP) will be conducted through the national data base. These
resources for data handling will then be more valuable to you than ever
before. Consequently, it is important that you immediately become involved
in managing these resources.
From a management perspective, the most urgent need is to bring the
delivery order back in line with its budget. For the remainder of FY 1986,
each Region will receive a budget that may not he exceeded. Within this
budget (plus any amount you wish to augment it with), each Region may
revise the existing labor hour mixture as necessary to suit your data
handling needs. Please designate an individual in the Superfund program to
have overall responsibility for data handling management. Once designated,
they should call Shirley Keehn of the IMTG (475-9336) to discuss their
-------
OSWER Directive 9221.0-1
role In the management of this function. Because such Regional revisions
will affect national totals of labor hours expended and our ability to
stay within labor hour category ceilings, it is essential that both
Shirley and the individuals designated by the Regions coordinate all
planned revisions with the flelivery Order Project Officer (Irvin Weiss)
and with the Regional AOP Managers, who serve as Deputy Oelivery Order
Project Officers. The delivery order will operate on the revised budget
("allocation" column) listed in Attachment I beginning February 15, 1986.
For the period February 15 through April 3D, the existing labor hour
mixture ("Current Usage Needs" column) will remain in place with some
reductions necessary across all categories. All Regions must review their
existing labor hour mixture and forward their decision on any changes to
Shirley by March 14. For your planning purposes, Attachment I(a) provides
similar information on the allocation for the period Hay 1 through
September 30, 1986.
As stated above, I anticipate that major changes will occur in the
roles of both the Regions and Headquarters in information management as
a result of the Superfund Management Systems project. A complete review oe
the data handling support delivery order and the extent to which it
supports the Superfund program is in order and will be conducted in the
fourth quarter. Until that analysis is complete, I believe that a policy
statement should be in place to lay out our existing responsibilities
for data handling management. A draft is provided in Attachment II for
your review and comment. Please have your staff provide any comments to
Shirley Keehn by March 14 so that it may be issued effective March 31.
Rick Martin, the CERCLIS system manager, will be happy to answer any
questions regarding the draft policy statement for you or your staff.

DATA HANDLING SUPPORT POLICY STATEMENT
1. The primary purpose of the CSC data handling delivery order is to
provide support for the collection, entry, and maintenance of CERCLIS
data.
2. The majority of these resources will be allocated to provide direct,
on-site support to the Regional Superfund programs.
3. The Regional Superfund programs have the responsibility to ensure that
the resources provided are fully utilized to support program priorities.
Specific responsibilities include:
-- providing constant oversight and direction in the conduct of daily
tasks;
-- ensuring that appropriate staff mix is in place to meet the data
handling needs of the Superfund program;
-- managing the staff mix to stay within the budget figure allocated to
each Region;
— communicating personnel problems, changing resource needs, training
requests and other administrative issues to the Office of Emergency
and Remedial Response (OERR) in a timely manner;
-- keeping the deputy Delivery Order Project Officer abreast of such
proposed changes; and,
-- designating an individual in the Superfund program to be accountable
for the effective use and management of these resources.
4. OERR's Information Management Task Group (IMTG) is responsible for
national coordination of the delivery order. Specific responsibilities
include:
-- preparing all delivery order modifications to provide uninterrupted
availability of resources and meet changing resource needs when
necessary;
-- providing the budget for each Region and track resource usage;
-- serving as the single point of contact for the Regions with the
contractor and the Office of Information Resources Management (OIRM);
-- communicating frequently with the Regions on all issues impacting
the delivery order or CERCLIS; and,
-- evaluating the effectiveness of the delivery order in supporting
program priorities.
5. OIRM currently supports the Superfund program by serving as the Delivery
Order Project Officer. Specific responsibilities include:
-- providing assistance to the IMTG in the preparation of all delivery
order modifications;
— serving as the single point of contact with the Contracting Officer;
and,
-- communicating frequently with the IMTG on all issues impacting the
delivery order.
