Clean Water Act; Contractor Access to 

Confidential Business Information 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency’s (EPA) Office of Water intends 

to transfer information collected from 

the construction and development 

industry and claimed as confidential 

business information (CBI) to The 

Cadmus Group (Cadmus) and its 

subcontractor. In addition, EPA plans to 

transfer CBI collected from the steam 

electric industry to a new subcontractor 

of a contractor, Eastern Research Group 

(ERG). EPA previously announced a CBI 

transfer to ERG (70 FR 9070, February 

24, 2005). The information being 

transferred will be collected under the 

authority of section 308 of the CWA. 

Transfer of the information will allow 

the contractors and subcontractors to 

access information necessary to support 

EPA in the planning, development, and 

review of effluent limitations guidelines 

and standards under the Clean Water 

Act (CWA). 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 7, 2010. 

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 

awarded a task order, Task Order 21, 

under a multiple award contract, 

contract number EP–C–08–002, to 

Cadmus located in Watertown, 

Massachusetts. The purpose of this 

contract is to secure technical analysis 

support for EPA in its development, 

review, implementation, and defense of 

controls for stormwater discharges, 

including those from municipal separate 

storm sewer systems (MS4s). To obtain 

assistance in responding to this 

contract, Cadmus has entered into a 

contract with a subcontractor, 

Geosyntec Consultants, located in 

Brookline, Massachusetts. 

In addition, EPA is giving notice 

today that one of its contractors, ERG, 

contract number 68–C–02–095, has 

entered into a contract with a new 

subcontractor, Avanti Corporation, 

located in Alexandria, Virginia. The 

purpose of this new subcontractual 

relationship is to provide technical 

support for EPA in its development, 

review, implementation, and defense of 

controls for discharges from the steam 

electric industry. 

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. 

Information submitted under a claim of 

business confidentiality is handled in 

accordance with EPA’s regulations at 40 

CFR part 2, subpart B and in accordance 

with EPA procedures, including 

comprehensive system security plans 

(SSPs), that are consistent with those 

regulations. When EPA has determined 

that disclosure of information claimed 

as CBI to contractors is necessary, the 

corresponding contract must address the 

appropriate use and handling of the 

information by the contractor and the 

contractor must require its personnel 

who require access to information 

claimed as CBI to sign written nondisclosure agreements before they are 

granted access to data. 

Cadmus will adhere to EPA-approved 

security plans which describe 

procedures to protect CBI. Cadmus will 

apply the procedures in these plans to 

CBI previously gathered by EPA and to 

CBI that may be gathered in the future. 

The security plans specify that 

contractor 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 part or all of the information that 

you claim to be CBI. For CBI 

information in a disk or CD-ROM that 

you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the 

disk or CD-ROM as CBI and then 

identify electronically within the disk or 

CD-ROM the specific information that is 

claimed as CBI. In addition to one 

complete version of the comment that 

includes information claimed as CBI, a 

copy of the comment that does not 

contain the information claimed as CBI 

must be submitted for inclusion in the 

public docket. Information so marked 

will not be disclosed except in 

accordance with procedures set forth in 

40 CFR part 2. 

2. Tips for preparing your comments. 

When submitting comments, remember

or organize comments by referencing a 

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 

or section number. 

iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; 

suggest alternatives and substitute 

language for your requested changes. 

iv. Describe any assumptions and 

provide any technical information and/ 

or data that you used. 

v. If you estimate potential costs or 

burdens, explain how you arrived at 

your estimate in sufficient detail to 

allow for it to be reproduced. 

vi. Provide specific examples to 

illustrate your concerns and suggest 

alternatives. 

vii. Explain your views as clearly as 

possible, avoiding the use of profanity 

or personal threats. 

viii. Make sure to submit your 

comments by the comment period 

deadline identified. 

3. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to 

achieve environmental justice, the fair 

treatment and meaningful involvement 

of any group, including minority and/or 

low-income populations, in the 

development, implementation, and 

enforcement of environmental laws, 

regulations, and policies. To help 

address potential environmental justice 

issues, the Agency seeks information on 

any groups or segments of the 

population who, as a result of their 

location, cultural practices, or other 

factors, may have atypical or 

disproportionately high and adverse 

human health impacts or environmental 

effects from exposure to the pesticides 

discussed in this document, compared 

to the general population. 

II. What Action is the Agency Taking? 

EPA is announcing its receipt of 

several pesticide petitions filed under 

section 408 of the Federal Food, Drug, 

and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 21 U.S.C. 

346a, proposing the establishment or 

modification of regulations in 40 CFR 

part 180 for residues of pesticide 

chemicals in or on various food 

commodities. EPA has determined that 

the pesticide petitions described in this 

notice contain the data or information 

prescribed in FFDCA section 408(d)(2); 

however, EPA has not fully evaluated 

the sufficiency of the submitted data at 

this time or whether the data support 

granting of the pesticide petitions. 

Additional data may be needed before 

EPA can make a final determination on 

these pesticide petitions. 

Pursuant to 40 CFR 180.7(f), a 

summary of each of the petitions that 

are the subject of this notice, prepared 

by the petitioner, is included in a docket 

EPA has created for each rulemaking. 

The docket for each of the petitions is 

available on-line at http:// 

www.regulations.gov.

draft human health assessment titled, 

‘‘Toxicological Review of Hexavalent 

Chromium: In Support of Summary 

Information on the Integrated Risk 

Information System (IRIS)’’ EPA/635/R– 

10/004C. The draft assessment was 

prepared by the National Center for 

Environmental Assessment (NCEA) 

within the EPA Office of Research and 

Development (ORD). EPA is releasing 

this draft assessment solely for the 

purpose of pre-dissemination peer 

review under applicable information 

quality guidelines. This draft 

assessment has not been formally 

disseminated by EPA. It does not 

represent and should not be construed 

to represent any Agency policy or 

determination. After public review and 

comment, an EPA contractor will 

convene an expert panel for 

independent external peer review of this 

draft assessment. The public comment 

period and external peer review meeting 

are separate processes that provide 

opportunities for all interested parties to 

comment on the assessment. The 

external peer review meeting will be 

scheduled at a later date and announced 

in the Federal Register. Public 

comments submitted during the public 

comment period will be provided to the 

external peer reviewers before the panel 

meeting and considered by EPA in the 

disposition of public comments. Public 

comments received after the public 

comment period closes will not be 

submitted to the external peer reviewers 

and will only be considered by EPA if 

time permits. 

The listening session will be held on 

November 18, 2010, during the public 

comment period for this draft 

assessment. The purpose of the listening 

session is to allow all interested parties 

to present scientific and technical 

comments on draft IRIS health 

assessments to EPA and other interested 

parties attending the listening session. 

EPA welcomes the comments that will 

be provided to the Agency by the 

listening session participants. The 

comments will be considered by the 

Agency as it revises the draft assessment 

after the independent external peer 

review. If listening session participants 

want EPA to share their comments with 

the external peer reviewers, they should 

also submit written comments during 

the public comment period using the 

detailed and established procedures 

described in the SUPPLEMENTARY

INFORMATION section of this notice.
