The purpose of the audit was to determine if the cost allocation process used by ENRD and its contractor provided an equitable distribution of total labor, other direct costs, and indirect costs to Superfund cases during FYs 2004 and 2005. In connection with the audit, as required by Government Auditing Standards, we reviewed management processes and records to obtain reasonable assurance concerning ENRD’s compliance with laws and regulations that if not complied with, in our judgment, could have a material effect on ENRD’s operations. Compliance with laws and regulations applicable to ENRD’s management of Superfund litigation is the responsibility of ENRD’s management.

We conducted our review against relevant portions of CERCLA, and did not identify any instance of ENRD noncompliance.
