What is an Administrative Record?

An administrative record is a collection of documents that forms the basis for an agency's

decision, in this case the selection of a response action at a Superfund site.

Under section 113(K) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and

Liability Act (CERCLA), as amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act

(SARA), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is required to establish an

administrative record for every Superfund response action and to make a copy of the

administrative record available at or near the site. The administrative record must be reasonably

available for public review during normal business hours. Questions regarding the maintenance

of the administrative record file should be directed to:

Elaine Chan, Administrative Record Coordinator, U.S. EPA (SFD-7-5), 75 Hawthorne Street,

San Francisco, CA 94105-3972, Phone: (415) 972-3128

How to obtain copies of administrative record documents:

Individuals may copy any documents contained in the administrative record file according to the

procedures at the local repository or request a copy of the DVD by calling the Superfund Records

Center at (415) 820-4700.
