II. What action is the Agency taking?

Under EPA Contract Number EP–W– 09–033, contractor ERG of 14555 Avion Parkway, Suite 200 and Energy Services, Inc., of 1300 Metropolitan Blvd., Tallahassee, FL, are assisting EPA by reviewing technical documents and providing technical expertise in the natural gas pipeline industry.

In accordance with 40 CFR 2.306(j), EPA has determined that under EPA Contract Number EP–W–09–033, ERG and its subcontractor required access to CBI submitted to EPA under all sections of TSCA to perform successfully the duties specified under the contract. ERG and its subcontractor’s personnel were given access to information submitted to EPA under all sections of TSCA. Some of the information may be claimed or determined to be CBI.

EPA is issuing this notice to inform all submitters of information under all sections of TSCA that EPA has provided ERG and its subcontractor access to these CBI materials on a need-to-know basis only. All access to TSCA CBI under this contract is taking place at EPA Headquarters and ERG’s Chantilly, VA, site in accordance with EPA’s TSCA CBI Protection Manual.

Access to TSCA data, including CBI, will continue until September 30, 2014. If the contract is extended, this access will also continue for the duration of the extended contract without further notice.

ERG and its subcontractor’s personnel have signed nondisclosure agreements and were briefed on appropriate security procedures before they were permitted access to TSCA CBI. List of Subjects

**ACTION :**  Notice.

**SUMMARY :**  The Environmental Protection Agency published a document in the Federal Register of December 26, 2012, concerning request for comments for the Draft Quality Standard for Environmental Data Collection, Production, and Use by Non-EPA (External) Organizations and two associated QA Handbooks. EPA has decided to pause the development of the draft Quality Standards for Data Collection, Production and Use. This decision was made after careful consideration of the comments received from external stakeholders and discussion with our internal stakeholders.

This pause will allow the Agency to revise the existing EPA Quality Policy and Procedure to integrate the relevant sections of the EPA Order 5360.1, EPA Quality Manual and draft Quality Standards. At the conclusion of this revision, we will revise the draft Quality Standards to align with the revised Quality Policy and Procedure and integrate the relevant sections of our existing QA Requirements documents ( R–2, R–5 ). Throughout the process, EPA plans to solicit input from both internal and external stakeholders and provide frequent status updates. We believe this approach will address many of the concerns raised by our stakeholders during the public comment period for the Quality Standard.
