SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice is being provided pursuant to 40 

CFR 2.209(d) to inform affected 

businesses that EPA, via DOJ, will 

provide certain information to the 

parties and the Court in the matter of In 

Re: Aqueous Film-Forming Foams 

Products Liability Litigating (MDL No. 

2:18–mn–2873–RMG) (D.S.C.) (‘‘AFFF 

litigation’’). The information is 

contained in documents that have been 

submitted to EPA pursuant to FIFRA, 

the FFDCA, and/or TSCA by pesticide 

registrants or other data-submitters, 

including information that has been 

claimed to be, or determined to 

potentially contain, CBI. 

The AFFF Litigation is Multidistrict 

Litigation established in December 2018 

involving over 1,000 consolidated Perand polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) 

cases in the U.S. District Court for the 

District of South Carolina, primarily 

alleging tort claims against private 

parties, including manufacturers, for 

products liability, public nuisance, and 

negligence concerning the manufacture 

and use of Aqueous Film-Forming 

Foams (AFFF). 

Although the primary focus of the 

litigation is on the manufacturers of 

AFFF, the United States is a party to 24 

lawsuits relating to discharges of AFFF 

that allegedly contaminated drinking 

water at various federal sites, such as 

Air Force bases. The primary federal 

agencies named as defendants are the 

Air Force, the National Guard Bureau, 

and the Department of Defense, but EPA 

is a named defendant in one pro se case. 

EPA is under an obligation to respond 

to Requests for Production (RFPs) in In 

Re: Aqueous Film-Forming Foams 

Products Liability Litigating (MDL No. 

2:18–mn–2873–RMG) (D.S.C.). The case 

has entered the discovery phase, and 

although a final Scheduling Order has 

not yet been entered, the Court has 

ordered expedited discovery. The 

documents being produced may include 

‘‘Confidential Business Information’’ 

such as any material or words with 

rights that may be protected under the 

U.S. Copyright Act of 1976, Public Law 

94–553, 90 Stat. 2541, codified, as 

amended, at Title 17 of the U.S. Code; 

trade secrets and/or confidential 

business information protected from 

disclosure by Section 14 of the TSCA, 

15 U.S.C. 2613(a); and/or documents 

submitted with pesticide registration 

applications and may include CBI under 

FIFRA section 10, 7 U.S.C. 136h, 

including scientific studies subject to 

the disclosure restrictions of FIFRA 

section 10(g), 7 U.S.C. 136h(g). 

All documents that may be subject to 

release restrictions under federal law 

will be designated as ‘‘Confidential 

Information,’’ ‘‘Highly Confidential 

Information,’’ and/or ‘‘Export Control 

Information’’ in the Protective Order 

(‘‘Case Management Order 4.A’’) already 

filed and publicly available in the AFFF 

litigation. EPA would only produce 

such documents in accordance with the 

Protective Order, which would require 

that such documents would be filed 

under seal and would not be available 

for public review, unless the 

information contained in the document 

has been determined to not be subject to 

protected status and all CBI has been 

redacted. 

Authority: 7 U.S.C. 301 et seq.; 15 U.S.C. 

2601 et seq; 21 U.S.C. 301 et seq.
