ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION 

AGENCY 

[EPA–HQ–OPPT–2015–0841; FRL–9941–93] 

Request for Applications; Third-Party 

Chemical/Product Profilers for the 

Safer Choice Program 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Safer Choice Program 

reduces pollution and potential risk at 

its source by setting criteria that product 

manufacturers must meet to qualify to 

use the Safer Choice label. The Safer 

Choice label helps consumers, 

businesses, and purchasers find 

products with ingredients that perform 

well and are safer for human health and 

the environment. To earn the Safer 

Choice label, products and their 

ingredients must meet the established 

Safer Choice Standard and safer 

chemical criteria. Third-party profilers 

(TPP) review the candidate’s products 

against Safer Choice standards and 

criteria, collect performance 

information, and develop chemical 

profiles. EPA is seeking additional 

third-party profilers to help the Safer 

Choice Program meet the growing 

consumer demand for safer products 

carrying the Safer Choice label. Entities 

that are interested in serving as Safer 

Choice third-party profilers should 

submit an application for EPA 

consideration. Qualified applicants will 

be asked to sign a memorandum of 

understanding (MOU), formalizing their 

commitment to support the Safer Choice 

Program’s human and environmental 

health protection mission. 

DATES: Applications may be submitted 

at any time; however, to be considered 

for qualification as a third-party profiler 

in 2016, applications must be received 

by May 16, 2016. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your application 

identified by docket identification (ID) 

number EPA–HQ–OPPT–2015–0841, by 

one of following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. General Information 

To help the Safer Choice program 

meet the growing consumer demand for 

safer products carrying the Safer Choice 

label, EPA is actively soliciting 

applications for additional Safer Choice 

third-party profilers. Entities that are 

interested in serving as a Safer Choice 

third-party profiler should review the 

Safer Choice standards and criteria and 

other program materials available at 

http://www.epa.gov/saferchoice to 

determine whether they should apply. 

For a candidate to qualify and fully 

participate in the Safer Choice Program, 

Safer Choice expects and TPPs should 

address how they would approach or 

undertake each of the following 

activities: 

1. Supporting the Safer Choice 

Program. Safeguard and uphold the 

integrity, quality, and trustworthiness of 

the Safer Choice product and chemicalevaluation processes, program, and 

label, including development of strong 

and effective working relationships with 

the Safer Choice staff. 

2. Meeting and Maintaining the TPP 

Provisions in the Safer Choice Standard. 

Satisfy the provisions of the Safer 

Choice Standard, section 7—‘‘Profiler 

Requirements,’’ which include technical 

competence in chemical hazard and fate 

reviews; staffing with experts in the 

various profiling disciplines; facility 

with toxicological models and 

estimation tools; program managerial 

skills; credibility and good standing; 

and success at a pilot review that 


asabaliauskas on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
14440 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 52 / Thursday, March 17, 2016 / Notices 

simulates an actual product evaluation. 

(See the Safer Choice Standard at 

http://www2.epa.gov/saferchoice/saferchoice-standard.) 

3. Following the Procedures in the 

Safer Choice TPP Handbook. Use the 

Third-Party Profiler Handbook/

Guidance Manual to inform its profiling 

activities, including, for example, 

searching the approved set of data 

sources; digesting the key, 

distinguishing hazard data; and 

preparing a dossier on each chemical 

ingredient in a candidate product. 

Beyond regular oversight, the TPP 

will conduct annual partner 

surveillance, including triennial on-site 

audits, to ensure compliance with 

program requirements. (See the ThirdParty Profiler Handbook; contact Tony 

Thompson at thompson.tony@epa.gov 

or (202) 564–2296 for details.) 

4. Submitting to Performance Review. 

In addition to regular feedback and 

recommendations from Safer Choice 

staff, engage in annual performance 

reviews, and once every 5 years, a full 

performance evaluation, which will 

culminate in a Safer Choice decision on 

whether the TPP retains its status as a 

qualified TPP. 

5. Adopting and Using the Safer 

Choice Data System. Use the Safer 

Choice data system (known as the Safer 

Choice Community) to manage all Safer 

Choice product review and partnership 

activities, including purchase and 

maintenance of the necessary computer 

hardware and system licenses. (For 

more information, see the TPP 

Handbook.) 

6. Performing Supplemental Duties. 

Fulfill other requests and functions 

related to its TPP duties that may arise 

from time to time, as needed. 

7. Adhering to Good Business 

Practices. Demonstrate and follow good 

business practices in dealing with 

companies working with Safer Choice. 

Good business practices include: 

Offering open access to your services to 

legitimate potential clients; adopting 

and implementing customer service 

standards; and avoiding potential 

conflicts of interest. 

8. Signing a Memorandum of 

Understanding. Qualified applicants 

will be asked to sign a MOU, 

formalizing their commitment to serve 

as a TPP and support the Safer Choice 

Program’s human and environmental 

health protection mission. (See the 

boilerplate MOU in the docket ID 

number EPA–HQ–OPPT–2015–0841.) 

II. Instructions for Applicants 

A. How to Submit an Application 

Applicants for Safer Choice Third 

Party Profiler must complete an 

application form, available in the docket 

ID number EPA–HQ–OPPT–2015–0841. 

To be considered in the 2016 selection 

cycle, completed applications must be 

submitted to Safer Choice via one of the 

means listed under ADDRESSES and by 

the deadline listed under DATES

indicated in this notice. 

B. Requirements for Submitting 

Business Proprietary Information 

Clearly mark the part or all of the 

information that you claim to be 

business proprietary. In addition to one 

complete version of the application that 

includes information claimed as 

proprietary, a copy of the application 

that does not contain the proprietary 

information must be submitted. 

Information marked as business 

proprietary will not be disclosed except 

in accordance with the procedures set 

forth in 40 CFR part 2. 

III. Selection of Safer Choice ThirdParty Profilers 

Safer Choice will review and evaluate 

all applications based on the TPP 

qualifications enumerated in this notice. 

From the applications submitted for the 

2016 TPP cycle, the program will select 

up to two best-qualified candidates to 

participate in trial product reviews. 

After successful completion of these 

reviews—during which the program 

will assist the candidate in orienting to 

the process and gaining competency— 

the candidate will be a qualified Safer 

Choice TPP. The new TPP will be asked 

to sign the Safer Choice-TPP 

memorandum of understanding and, 

following signature, may accept clients 

and begin its service to the program. 

The quality and integrity of the Safer 

Choice label rests on active program 

engagement with and oversight of our 

profilers. Safer Choice plans to add up 

to two new TPPs this year, doubling its 

pool of profilers, based on the program’s 

ability to assimilate, train, and oversee 

the new TPPs while maintaining its 

other program functions. Safer Choice 

will continually evaluate its ability to 

bring on additional TPPs. 

All qualified TPPs will be listed in 

and accessible via the Safer Choice 

Community, the data system product 

manufacturers use to apply for the Safer 

Choice label.
