III. Description of Programs and 

Potential Disclosure of Information 

Claimed as Confidential Business 

Information (CBI) to Contractors 

The 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 the EPA 

procedures, including comprehensive 

system security plans (SSPs) that are 

consistent with those regulations. When 

the 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 are collected 

to register fuels and fuel additives prior 

to introduction into commerce. 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 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, CSRA, located at 3170 Fairview 

Park Drive, Falls Church, VA 22042, and 

at 650 Peter Jefferson Parkway, Suite 

300, Charlottesville, VA 22901, and its 

subcontractor, Ecco Select, 1301 Oak 

Street, Suite 400, Kansas City, MO 

64106, 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 December 31, 2015. and 

will continue until June 30, 2016. 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. Some SEE enrollees are 

provided through Grant Number CQ– 

834621, the National Association for 

Hispanic Elderly (NAHE), located at 234 

East Colorado Boulevard, Suite 300, 

Pasadena, CA 91101, and through Grant 

Numbers CQ–835372 and CQ–835572, 

the Senior Service America, Inc. (SSAI), 

located at 8403 Colesville Road, Suite 

1200, Silver Spring, MD 20910. 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 until December 31, 2016 

for Grant Number CQ–834621, October 

14, 2016 for Grant Number CQ–835372, 

and September 30, 2016 for Grant 

Number CQ–835572. If these grants are 

extended, this access will continue for 

the remainder of the grants and any 

future extensions without further notice. 

OTAQ also has fellows provided via 

the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and 

Education (ORISE) Intern/Research 

Participation Program. Some 

participants are provided through 

Interagency Agreement Number 

DW89924039, the ORISE, located at 

1299 Bethel Valley Road, Building SC– 

200, Oak Ridge, TN 37830. 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, 

but excluding CBI under the Toxic 

Substances Control Act (TSCA) and the 

Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and 

Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), is ongoing 

until September 30, 2016. If the program 

is extended, this access will continue 

for the remainder of the program and 

any future extensions without further 

notice. 

Parties who want 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

Mr. Aaron Yeow, DFO, EPA Science 

Advisory Board Staff Office (1400R), 

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 

1200 Pennsylvania Avenue NW., 

Washington, DC 20460; by telephone/

voice mail at (202) 564–2050 or at 

yeow.aaron@epa.gov. General 

information about the CASAC, as well 

as any updates concerning the meetings 

announced in this notice, may be found 

on the CASAC Web page at http://www.

epa.gov/casac. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

CASAC was established pursuant to the 

Clean Air Act (CAA) Amendments of 

1977, codified at 42 U.S.C. 7409(d)(2), to 

review air quality criteria and National 

Ambient Air Quality Standards 

(NAAQS) and recommend any new 

NAAQS and revisions of existing 

criteria and NAAQS as may be 

appropriate. The CASAC is a Federal 

Advisory Committee chartered under 

the Federal Advisory Committee Act 

(FACA), 5 U.S.C., App. 2. Section 

109(d)(1) of the CAA requires that the 

Agency periodically review and revise, 

as appropriate, the air quality criteria 

and the NAAQS for the six ‘‘criteria’’ air 

pollutants, including sulfur oxides. EPA 

is currently reviewing the primary 

(health-based) NAAQS for sulfur 

dioxide (SO2), as an indicator for health 

effects caused by the presence of sulfur 

oxides in the ambient air. Pursuant to 

FACA and EPA policy, notice is hereby 

given that the CASAC Sulfur Oxides 

Panel will hold a public face-to-face 

meeting to review EPA’s Integrated 

Science Assessment for Sulfur Oxides— 

Health Criteria (External Review Draft— 

November 2015). The CASAC Sulfur 

Oxides Panel will hold a public 

teleconference to discuss its draft peer 

review report and the Chartered CASAC 

will discuss the disposition of the 

panel’s report at the end of the 

teleconference. The Chartered CASAC 

and CASAC Sulfur Oxides Panel will 

comply with the provisions of FACA 

and all appropriate SAB Staff Office 

procedural policies. 

Technical Contacts: Any technical 

questions concerning the Integrated 

Science Assessment for Sulfur Oxides— 

Health Criteria (External Review Draft— 

November 2015) should be directed to 

Dr. Tom Long (long.tom@epa.gov), EPA 

Office of Research and Development. 

Availability of Meeting Materials: 

Prior to the meeting, the review 

documents, agenda and other materials 

will be available on the CASAC Web 

page at http://www.epa.gov/casac/. 

Procedures for Providing Public Input: 

Public comment for consideration by 

EPA’s federal advisory committees and 

panels has a different purpose from 

public comment provided to EPA 

program offices. Therefore, the process 

for submitting comments to a federal 

advisory committee is different from the 

process used to submit comments to an 

EPA program office. 

Federal advisory committees and 

panels, including scientific advisory 

committees, provide independent 

advice to EPA. Members of the public 

can submit comments for a federal 

advisory committee to consider as it 

develops advice for EPA. Interested 

members of the public may submit 

relevant written or oral information on 

the topic of this advisory activity, and/ 

or the group conducting the activity, for 

the CASAC to consider during the 

advisory process. Input from the public 

to the CASAC will have the most impact 

if it provides specific scientific or 

technical information or analysis for 

CASAC panels to consider or if it relates 

to the clarity or accuracy of the 

technical information. Members of the 

public wishing to provide comment 

should contact the DFO directly. Oral 

Statements: In general, individuals or 

groups requesting an oral presentation 

at a public face-to-face meeting will be 

limited to five minutes and on a public 

teleconference will be limited to three 

minutes. Each person making an oral 

statement should consider providing 

written comments as well as their oral 

statement so that the points presented 

orally can be expanded upon in writing. 

Interested parties should contact Mr. 

Aaron Yeow, DFO, in writing 

(preferably via email) at the contact 

information noted above by January 20, 

2016, to be placed on the list of public 

speakers for the face-to-face meeting and 

by March 30, 2016, for the 

teleconference. Written Statements: 

Written statements should be supplied 

to the DFO via email at the contact 

information noted above by January 20, 

2016, for the face-to-face meeting and by 

March 30, 2016, for the teleconference 

so that the information may be made 

available to the Panel members for their 

consideration. It is the SAB Staff Office 

general policy to post written comments 

on the Web page for the advisory 

meeting or teleconference. Submitters 

are requested to provide an unsigned 

version of each document because the 

SAB Staff Office does not publish 

documents with signatures on its Web 

sites. Members of the public should be 

aware that their personal contact 

information, if included in any written 

comments, may be posted to the CASAC 

Web site. Copyrighted material will not 

be posted without explicit permission of 

the copyright holder. 

Accessibility: For information on 

access or services for individuals with 

disabilities, please contact Mr. Aaron 

Yeow at (202) 564–2050 or yeow.aaron@

epa.gov. To request accommodation of a 

disability, please contact Mr. Yeow 

preferably at least ten days prior to each 

meeting to give EPA as much time as 

possible to process your request.
