SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA has the authority to recover costs
associated with its response to releases or threatened releases of
hazardous substances, or discharges or threatened discharges of oil. To
support the recovery of certain removal costs associated with
threatened or actual discharges of oil, EPA submits a Cost Recovery
Package (CRP) to the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG). Previously, EPA used
SCORPIOS to prepare the CRP; however, because SCORPIOS uses old
technology that has become difficult and expensive for the Agency to
maintain, the SCORPIOS system (EPA-39) is replaced with the more modern
e-Recovery system (EPA-90). The information previously stored in
SCORPIOS is now stored in the e-Recovery system. Information about the
e-Recovery system and its system of records notice was published in the
Federal Register (86 FR 31,307) on June 11, 2021
SYSTEM NAME AND NUMBER:
SCORPIOS, EPA-39.
HISTORY:
66 FR 49947 (October 1, 2001).

Senior Agency Official for Privacy.
