All administrative records are publicly available.  Many (although by no
means all) recent RODs contain a list of the administrative record.  Any
of the EPA Regions should provide you copies of all documents in an
administrative record if you request it.  Normally, they waive the
copying fee (at least in the pre-Bush era).  So if you use the ROD
search function on the EPA Superfund web site, you should be able to
select a ROD.  I think all regions have web-based FOIA requests that
allow you to send a request online.  Once you send the request and they
assign it to someone, they will contact you about the cost, if any.
Note that often, EPA guidances and Federal Register notices are listed
in the AR, but are not physically in the docket.  Plus, EPA does take
the position that all of their guidance is implicitly part of the
record.
