0 <br /> Regarding the text in your letter concerning the <br /> discussions which take place at the RPM meetings, we remind DLA <br /> that, per Section 9 . 1 of the Federal Facility Agreement (FFA) : <br /> timetables, deadlines and schedules shall be extended upon <br /> receipt of a timely request for extension and when good cause <br /> exists for the requested extension. Any request for extension by <br /> a Party shall be submitted to the other parties in writing <br /> [emphasis added] and shall specify: <br /> (a) the timetable, deadline or schedule that is sought to be <br /> extended; <br /> (b) the length of the extension sought: <br /> (c) the good cause(s) for the extension; and <br /> (d) the extent to which any related timetable and deadline or <br /> schedule would be affected if the extension were granted. <br /> Please know that discussions at RPM meetings, however <br /> cordial, do not obviate the need for this written record. EPA <br /> and DLA are both subject to occasional federal audits and EPA <br /> has been criticized in the past for allowing extensions of the <br /> enforceable schedule without sufficient basis. A written record <br /> of justification will serve the interests of both of our <br /> offices . <br /> Please feel free to contact me at 415-744-2411 or Michael <br /> Work at 415-744-2392 if you have any questions or comments . <br /> Sincerely, <br /> i <br /> Rich Seraydarian, Chief <br /> Army and Pacific Islands Section <br /> Federal Facilities Cleanup Office <br /> Superfund Division (SFD-8-3) <br /> CC: (See Distribution List) <br /> 2 <br />
