simulates an actual product evaluation. (See the Safer Choice Standard athttp://www2.epa.gov/saferchoice/saferchoice-standard. )

3. Following the Procedures in the Safer Choice TPP Handbook. Use the Third-Party Profiler Handbook/ Guidance Manual to inform its profiling activities, including, for example, searching the approved set of data sources; digesting the key, distinguishing hazard data; and preparing a dossier on each chemical ingredient in a candidate product.

Beyond regular oversight, the TPP will conduct annual partner surveillance, including triennial on-site audits, to ensure compliance withprogram requirements. (See the ThirdParty Profiler Handbook; contact Tony Thompson at thompson.tony@epa.gov or (202) 564–2296 for details.)

4. Submitting to Performance Review. In addition to regular feedback and recommendations from Safer Choice staff, engage in annual performance reviews, and once every 5 years, a full performance evaluation, which will culminate in a Safer Choice decision on whether the TPP retains its status as a qualified TPP.

5. Adopting and Using the Safer Choice Data System. Use the Safer Choice data system (known as the Safer Choice Community) to manage all Safer Choice product review and partnership activities, including purchase and maintenance of the necessary computer hardware and system licenses. (For more information, see the TPP Handbook.)

6. Performing Supplemental Duties. Fulfill other requests and functions related to its TPP duties that may arise from time to time, as needed.

7. Adhering to Good Business Practices. Demonstrate and follow good business practices in dealing with companies working with Safer Choice. Good business practices include: Offering open access to your services to legitimate potential clients; adopting and implementing customer service standards; and avoiding potential conflicts of interest.

8. Signing a Memorandum of Understanding. Qualified applicants will be asked to sign a MOU, formalizing their commitment to serve as a TPP and support the Safer Choice Program’s human and environmental health protection mission. (See the boilerplate MOU in the docket ID number EPA–HQ–OPPT–2015–0841.) II. Instructions for Applicants A. How to Submit an Application

Applicants for Safer Choice Third Party Profiler must complete an application form, available in the docket ID number EPA–HQ–OPPT–2015–0841. To be considered in the 2016 selection cycle, completed applications must be submitted to Safer Choice via one of the means listed under **ADDRESSES** and by the deadline listed under **DATES** indicated in this notice. B. Requirements for Submitting Business Proprietary Information

Clearly mark the part or all of the information that you claim to be business proprietary. In addition to one complete version of the application that includes information claimed as proprietary, a copy of the application that does not contain the proprietary information must be submitted. Information marked as business proprietary will not be disclosed except in accordance with the procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.

III. Selection of Safer Choice ThirdParty Profilers

Safer Choice will review and evaluate all applications based on the TPP qualifications enumerated in this notice. From the applications submitted for the 2016 TPP cycle, the program will select up to two best-qualified candidates to participate in trial product reviews. After successful completion of these reviews—during which the program will assist the candidate in orienting to the process and gaining competency— the candidate will be a qualified Safer Choice TPP. The new TPP will be asked to sign the Safer Choice-TPP memorandum of understanding and, following signature, may accept clients and begin its service to the program.

The quality and integrity of the Safer Choice label rests on active program engagement with and oversight of our profilers. Safer Choice plans to add up to two new TPPs this year, doubling its pool of profilers, based on the program’s ability to assimilate, train, and oversee the new TPPs while maintaining its other program functions. Safer Choice will continually evaluate its ability to bring on additional TPPs.

All qualified TPPs will be listed in and accessible via the Safer Choice Community, the data system product manufacturers use to apply for the Safer Choice label.
