Clean Water Act; Contractor Access to 

Confidential Business Information 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of Intended Transfer of 

Confidential Business Information to 

Contractors and Subcontractors. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) intends to transfer 

confidential business information (CBI) 

collected from the drinking water 

treatment industry, airport deicing 

operations, and other industries to 

Battelle and its subcontractors. Transfer 

of the information will allow the 

contractor and subcontractors to support 

EPA in the planning, development, and 

review of effluent limitations guidelines 

and standards under the Clean Water 

Act (CWA) and the development of 

discharge standards for certain Alaskan 

cruise ship operations. The information 

being transferred was or will be 

collected under the authority of section 

308 of the CWA. Some information 

being transferred from the pulp, paper, 

and paperboard industry was collected 

under the additional authorities of 

section 114 of the Clean Air Act (CAA) 

and section 3007 of the Resource 

Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). 

Interested persons may submit 

comments on this intended transfer of 

information to the address noted below. 

DATES: Comments on the transfer of data 

are due October 3, 2005. 

ADDRESSES: Comments may be sent to 

Mr. M. Ahmar Siddiqui, Document 

Control Officer, Engineering and 

Analysis Division (4303T), Room 6231S 

EPA West, U.S. EPA, 1200 Pennsylvania 

Ave, NW., Washington, DC 20460. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

M. Ahmar Siddiqui, Document Control 

Officer, at (202) 566–1044, or via e-mail 

at siddiqui.ahmar@epa.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA has 

transferred CBI to various contractors 

and subcontractors over the history of 

the effluent guidelines program. EPA 

determined that this transfer was 

necessary to enable the contractors and 

subcontractors to perform their work in 

supporting EPA in planning, 

developing, and reviewing effluent 

guidelines and standards for certain 

industries. 

Today, EPA is giving notice that it has 

entered into a contract with Battelle, 

number EP–C–05–030, located in 

Columbus, Ohio. The reason for this 

contract is to secure additional 

statistical analysis support for EPA in its 

development, review, implementation, 

and defense of water-related initiatives. 

To obtain assistance in responding to 

this contract, Battelle has entered into 

contracts with the following 

subcontractors: Waterstone 

Environmental Hydrology and 

Engineering, Inc. (located in Boulder, 

Colorado) and Jorge Scientific 

Corporation (Arlington, Virginia). 

All EPA contractor, subcontractor, 

and consultant personnel are bound by 

the requirements and sanctions 

contained in their contracts with EPA 

and in EPA’s confidentiality regulations 

found at 40 CFR Part 2, Subpart B. 

Battelle and its subcontractors adhere to 

EPA-approved security plans which 

describe procedures to protect CBI. The 

procedures in these plans are applied to 

CBI previously gathered by EPA for the 

industries identified below and to CBI 

that may be gathered in the future for 

these industries. The security plans 

specify that contractor and 

subcontractor personnel are required to 

sign non-disclosure agreements and are 

briefed on appropriate security 

procedures before they are permitted 

access to CBI. No person is 

automatically granted access to CBI: a 

need to know must exist. 

The information that will be 

transferred to Battelle and its 

subcontractors consists primarily of 

information previously collected by 

EPA to support the development and 

review of effluent limitations guidelines 

and standards under the CWA and the 

development of discharge standards for 

certain Alaskan cruise ship operations. 

In particular, information, including 

CBI, collected for the planning, 

development, and review of effluent 

limitations guidelines and standards for 

the following industries may be 

transferred: Airport deicing; 

aquaculture; concentrated animal 

feeding operations; centralized waste 

treatment; coal mining; drinking water 

treatment; industrial container and 

drum cleaning; industrial laundries; 

industrial waste combustors; iron and 

steel manufacturing; landfills; meat and 

poultry products; metal finishing; metal 

products and machinery; nonferrous 

metals manufacturing; oil and gas 

extraction (including coalbed methane); 

ore mining and dressing; organic 

chemicals, plastics, and synthetic fibers; 

pesticide chemicals; pharmaceutical 

manufacturing; petroleum refining; 

pulp, paper, and paperboard 

manufacturing; steam electric power 

generation; textile mills; timber 

products processing; tobacco; and 

transportation equipment cleaning. In 

addition, for the development of 

standards for Alaskan cruise ships, EPA 

may transfer information, including CBI, 

about large cruise ships that operate in 

the waters around Alaska. 

EPA also intends to transfer to 

Battelle and its subcontractors all 

information listed in this notice, of the 

type described above (including CBI) 

that may be collected in the future 

under the authority of section 308 of the 

CWA or voluntarily submitted (e.g., in 

comments in response to a Federal 

Register notice), as is necessary to 

enable Battelle and its subcontractors to 

carry out the work required by their 

contracts to support EPA’s effluent 

guidelines planning process, the 

development of effluent limitations 

guidelines and standards, and the 

development of discharge standards for 

cruise ships.

institutions. 

Number of Respondents: 15,200.

Needs and Uses: 47 CFR Section 

73.1820 requires that each licensee of an 

AM, FM or TV broadcast station 

maintain a station log. Each entry must 

accurately reflect the station’s operation. 

This log should reflect adjustments to 

operating parameters for AM stations 

with directional antennas without an 

approved sampling system, for all 

stations the actual time of any 

observation of extinguishment or 

improper operation of tower lights, and 

entry of each test of the Emergency Alert 

System (EAS) for commercial stations. 

The data is used by FCC staff in field 

investigations to assure that the licensee 

is operating in accordance with the 

technical requirements as specified in 

the FCC Rules and with the station 

authorization, and is taking reasonable 

measures to preclude interference to 

other stations. It is also used to verify 

that the EAS is operating properly.
