that the information is submitted to 

EPA. If a submitter does not assert a 

confidentiality claim at the time of 

submission, EPA will consider this as a 

waiver of any confidentiality claim and 

the information may be made available

notice to the submitter. 

IV. What Is the General Background for 

This Action? 

A. Trade Secret. The Toxics Release 

Inventory (TRI) is mandated by the 

Emergency Planning and Community 

Right-to-Know Act of 1986 (EPCRA) and 

the Pollution Prevention Act (PPA) of 

1990. EPCRA Section 313 and PPA 

Section 6607 establish requirements for 

reporting of toxic chemical releases and 

other waste management quantities. 

Under Section 322 of EPCRA and 40 

CFR Part 350, facilities submitting TRI 

reports may be eligible to claim Trade 

Secret for the specific chemical identity 

of the toxic chemical being reported. To 

support a claim of trade secrecy, a 

facility may need to submit additional 

confidential business information. 

Pursuant to 40 CFR 350.23 (‘‘Disclosure 

to Authorized Representatives’’), 

information entitled to trade secret or 

confidential treatment may not be 

disclosed by the Agency to the Agency’s 

authorized representative until each 

affected submitter has been furnished 

notice of the contemplated disclosure by 

the EPA program office and has been 

afforded a period found reasonable by 

that office (not less than five working 

days) to submit its comments. Such 

notice shall include a description of the 

information to be disclosed, the identity 

of the contractor, subcontractor, or 

grantee, the contract, subcontract, or 

grant number, if any, and the purposes 

to be served by the disclosure. This 

notice may be published in the Federal 

Register or may be sent to individual 

submitters. 

V. This Notice Announces a Change of 

Contractor Designated To Manage the 

Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) Data 

Processing for All TRI Submissions 

The contract to manage the TRI data 

submissions was competed in 2001 and 

was awarded to the Computer Sciences 

Corporation (CSC) (GSA Contract 

GSOOT99ALD0203). This contract will 

end September 30, 2009. A new contract 

was awarded to CGI, Incorporated (GS– 

35F4797H TO#1518) on April 1, 2009. 

The management of TRI data 

submissions will transition to CGI by 

the end of September 2009 and remain 

with CGI through March 30, 2012. This 

new facility will be located in Fairfax, 

Virginia. 

Effective July 30, 2009, certified mail 

should be sent to CGI Federal, C/O CDX 

Reporting Center, 12601 Fair Lakes 

Circle, Fairfax, VA 22033. All other 

submissions should be sent to the TRI 

Reporting Center, P.O. Box 10163, 

Fairfax, VA 22038. All TRI submissions 

including trade secret and confidential 


pwalker on DSK8KYBLC1PROD with NOTICES
42898 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 163 / Tuesday, August 25, 2009 / Notices 

information submitted pursuant to 40 

CFR Part 350 will be managed by CGI. 

In accordance with 40 CFR 350.23, 

EPA has determined that CGI and their 

subcontractors require access to trade 

secret and confidential information 

submitted under 40 CFR Part 350 in 

order to receive, manage, process, and 

safely store such information. The 

contractor will have appropriate 

procedures and facilities in place to 

safeguard the TRI trade secret and 

confidential information to which the 

contractor and subcontractors have 

access during the term of this contract. 

The contractor’s and subcontractor’s 

employees will be required to sign a 

‘‘Confidentiality Agreement’’ prior to 

being permitted access to trade secret 

and confidential information submitted 

under 40 CFR Part 350. All contractor 

and subcontractor access to TRI trade 

secret and confidential information will 

take place at the contractor’s facility in 

Fairfax, VA.

GENERAL SERVICES 

ADMINISTRATION 

Maximum Per Diem Rates for the 

Continental United States (CONUS) 

AGENCY: Office of Governmentwide 

Policy, General Services Administration 

(GSA). 

ACTION: Notice of Per Diem Bulletin 10– 

01, Fiscal Year (FY) 2010 continental 

United States (CONUS) per diem rates. 

SUMMARY: The General Services 

Administration’s (GSA’s) annual per 

diem review has resulted in lodging and 

meal allowance changes for locations 

within the continental United States 

(CONUS) to provide for the 

reimbursement of Federal employees’ 

expenses covered by per diem. Per Diem 

Bulletin 10–01 updates the maximum 

per diem amounts in existing per diem 

localities. The CONUS per diem rates 

prescribed in Bulletin 10–01 may be 

found at http://www.gsa.gov/perdiem. 

GSA based the lodging per diem rates 

on the average daily rate that the 

lodging industry reports. The use of 

such data in the per diem rate setting 

process enhances the Government’s 

ability to obtain policy-compliant 

lodging where it is needed. In 

conjunction with the annual lodging 

study, GSA identified three new nonstandard areas (NSAs): Jefferson City 

(Cole County) and St. Robert (Pulaski 

County), Missouri; and Middlebury 

(Addison County), Vermont. The meals 

and incidental expense rates for all 

NSAs and for standard CONUS will also 

be updated. 

For a complete listing of pertinent 

information that must be submitted 

through a Federal executive agency for 

GSA to restudy a location, or if a 

CONUS or standard CONUS per diem 

rate is insufficient to meet necessary 

expenses, please review numbers four 

and five of our per diem Frequently 

Asked Questions at (http:// 

www.gsa.gov/perdiemfaqs). 

DATES: This notice is effective October 

1, 2009, and applies for travel 

performed on or after October 1, 2009 

through September 30, 2010.
