II. Contractor Requirements 

Under Contract No. EP-W-07-025, 

Syracuse Environmental Research 

Associates, Inc. and its subcontractor, 

Syracuse Research Corporation, will 

access FIFRA/CBI data in the 

preparation of assessments and 

characterizations of pesticides. The 

assessments and characterizations will 

assess drinking water and its risk to 

humans and nonhumans. Assessment 

production support would include 

developing full ecological risk 

assessments and or drinking water 

exposure assessments, preparing 

sections of risk assessments, 

investigating a specific issue or problem 

related to a risk assessment, or 

conducting literature searches for data 

on individual chemicals or groups of 

chemicals to augment existing data sets. 

An ecological risk assessment in OPP 

evaluates the likelihood that adverse 

ecological effects may occur as a result 

of exposure to a pesticide. It includes 

three primary phases: Problem 

formulation, analysis, and risk 

characterization. A drinking water 

assessment generally includes a 

discussion of the pesticide usage 

including application methods and 

rates, and geographical areas of use, the 

occurrence exposure data used to assess 

exposure, a description of the models 

and scenarios used to estimate 

concentration in both surface water and 

ground water, and a discussion of the 

uncertainty and data gaps. 

The OPP has determined that access 

by Syracuse Environmental Research 

Associates, Inc. and its subcontractor, 

Syracuse Research Corporation, to 

information on all pesticide chemicals 

may be necessary for the performance of 

this contract. 

Some of this information may be 

entitled to confidential treatment. The 

information has been submitted to EPA 

under sections 3, 4, 6, and 7 of FIFRA 

and under sections 408 and 409 of 

FFDCA. 

In accordance with the requirements 

of 40 CFR 2.307(h)(2), the contract with 

Syracuse Environmental Research 

Associates, Inc. and its subcontractor, 

Syracuse Research Corporation 

prohibits use of the information for any 

purpose not specified in the contract; 

prohibits disclosure of the information 

to a third party without prior written 

approval from the Agency; and requires 

that each official and employee of the 

contractor sign an agreement to protect 

the information from unauthorized 

release and to handle it in accordance 

with the FIFRA Information Security 

Manual. In addition, Syracuse 

Environmental Research Associates, Inc. 

and its subcontractor, Syracuse 

Research Corporation, are required to 

submit for EPA approval a security plan 

under which any CBI will be secured 

and protected against unauthorized 

release or compromise. No information 

will be provided to Syracuse 

Environmental Research Associates, Inc. 

and its subcontractor, Syracuse 

Research Corporation Staff, until the 

requirements in this document have 

been fully satisfied. Records of 

information provided to Syracuse 

Environmental Research Associates, Inc. 

and its subcontractor, Syracuse 

Research Corporation Staff, will be 

maintained by EPA Project Officers for 

this contract. All information supplied 

to Syracuse Environmental Research 

Associates, Inc. and its subcontractor,
