Memorandum addresses the Agency's  interim guidance on the use of mixed funding settlements that involve preauthorization of the state or political subdivision that is a potentially responsible party (PRP) at the site. OSWER Directive No. 9834.9a. Issued 5/27/1988. 

The memorandum addresses the question as to whether EPA can approve a request for preauthorization submitted by a political subdivision seeking to file a claim against the Fund for reimbursement of a portion of response costs at a Superfund site.

This memorandum supplements the 10/20/1987 mixed funding evaluation guidance issued under section 122(b) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA, commonly referred to as Superfund.)
