and 55 Wheeler Street, Cambridge, MA 

is assisting the Office of Pollution 

Prevention and Toxics (OPPT) in the 

development of economic assessments; 

surveys; and non-regulatory activities 

that will require access to data and other 

confidential business information. The 

contractor is also assisting in evaluating 

the potential risks of new chemical 

substances including microorganisms

Associates required access to CBI

all submitters of information under all 

sections of TSCA that EPA has provided 

Abt Associates access to these CBI

All access to TSCA CBI under this 

contract is taking place at EPA 

Headquarters and Abt Associates’ sites 

located in Bethesda, MD and 

Cambridge, MA, in accordance with 

EPA’s TSCA CBI Protection Manual. 

Access to TSCA data, including CBI, 

will continue until March 30, 2021. If 

the contract is extended, this access will 

also continue for the duration of the
