1 • • <br /> latest schedule and milestones were programmed for funding and could be <br /> achieved on time, but received no response. . <br /> EPA reminds the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) that the FFA established <br /> a protocol for extensions to the FFA schedule (reference EPA letter of May <br /> 18, 2000, also attached) . Per the terms of the FFA, Section 9, please supply <br /> us with the "good cause" basis for the above extensions. <br /> Prior to acceptance by all parties to the FFA, the deadlines of the <br /> previous schedule remain unchanged. Thus, DLA is out of compliance with the <br /> schedule and potentially vulnerable to enforcement action, which may include <br /> an assessment of stipulated penalties. Absent regulatory concurrence with <br /> the extension request, within a seven-day period, DLA may invoke dispute <br /> resolution (FFA Section 9.6) . <br /> The FFA contains procedures for the resolution of disputes which <br /> include, if necessary, the Dispute Resolution Committee (DRC) . It is likely <br /> that staffing changes have occurred within DLA and that we may no longer have <br /> accurate information regarding the identity of DLA's appropriate DRC <br /> representative. Please identify DLA's policy level representative or the <br /> delegated authority to participate in the DRC (FFA Section 12) . <br /> Please respond to this letter within seven days with a corrected <br /> extension request, fully justified, which meets with the terms of the FFA. <br /> In the interim, EPA regards this matter in a state of informal dispute. <br /> Please feel free to contact me at 415-744-2411 or Michael work at 415- <br /> 744-2392 if you have any questions or comments. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Rich Seraydarian, Chief <br /> Army and Pacific Islands Section <br /> Federal Facilities Cleanup Office <br /> Superfund Division (SFD-8-3) <br /> Attachments <br /> CC: (See Distribution List) <br /> 2 <br />
