III. Description of Programs and 

Potential Disclosure of Information 

Claimed as Confidential Business 

Information (CBI) to Contractors 

EPA’s Office of Transportation and 

Air Quality (OTAQ) has responsibility 

for protecting public health and the 

environment by regulating air pollution 

from motor vehicles, engines, and the 

fuels used to operate them, and by 

encouraging travel choices that 

minimize emissions. In order to 

implement various Clean Air Act 

programs, and to permit regulated 

entities flexibility in meeting regulatory 

requirements (e.g., compliance on 

average), we collect compliance reports 

and other information from them. 

Occasionally, the information submitted 

is claimed to be confidential business 

information (CBI). Information 

submitted under such a claim 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. 

In accordance with 40 CFR 2.301(h), 

we have determined that the 

contractors, subcontractors, and 

grantees (collectively referred to as 

‘‘contractors’’) listed below require 

access to CBI submitted to us under the 

Clean Air Act and in connection with 

the Mandatory Greenhouse Gas (GHG) 

Reporting Rule [40 CFR part 98, 

subparts A (general registration and 

reporting provisions) LL, and MM], as 

well as various OTAQ programs related 

to fuels, vehicles, and engines (40 CFR 

parts 79 and 80) and we are providing 

notice and an opportunity to comment. 

OTAQ collects this data in order to 

monitor compliance with Clean Air Act 

programs and, in many cases, to permit 

regulated parties flexibility in meeting 

regulatory requirements. For example, 

data that may contain CBI is collected 

in order to register fuels and fuel 

additives prior to introduction into 

commerce and to certify engines. 

Certain programs are designed to permit 

regulated parties an opportunity to 

comply on average, or to engage in 

transactions using various types of 

credits. For example, OTAQ collects 

information about batches of gasoline 

that refiners produce in order to ensure 

compliance with reformulated gasoline 

standards. We are issuing this Federal 

Register notice to inform all affected 

submitters of information that we plan 

to grant access to material that may be 

claimed as CBI to the contractors 

identified below on a need-to-know 

basis. 

Under Contract Number EP–C–11– 

007, SRA International, Inc., 4300 Fair 

Lakes Court, Fairfax, VA 22033, and its 

subcontractor, PowerSolv, 1801 Robert 

Fulton Drive, Suite 550, Reston, VA 

20191, provide report processing, 

program support, technical support, and 

information technology services that 

involve access to information claimed as 

CBI related to 40 CFR part 79, 40 CFR 

part 80, and 40 CFR part 98 subparts A, 

LL, and MM. Access to data, including 

information claimed as CBI, will 

commence on November 19, 2012 and 

will continue until December 31, 2015. 

If the contract is extended, this access 

will continue for the remainder of the 

contract without further notice. 

OTAQ utilizes the services of 

enrollees under the Senior 

Environmental Employment (SEE) 

program. SEE enrollees are provided 

through Grant Number CQ–834621, the 

National Association for Hispanic 

Elderly (NAHE), 234 E. Colorado Blvd., 

Suite 300, Pasadena, California 91101. 

Access to data relating to all of OTAQ’s 

programs and to subparts A, LL, and 

MM of the Mandatory GHG Reporting 

Rule, including information claimed as 

CBI, is ongoing and will continue until 

March 16, 2013. If the grant is extended, 

this access will continue for the 

remainder of the grant and any future 

extensions without further notice. 

Parties who wish further information 

about this Federal Register notice or 

about OTAQ’s disclosure of information 

claimed as CBI to contactors may 

contact the person listed under FOR

FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
