Invitation for Submittal to the Vendor Information System for 
Innovative Treatment Technologies

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of invitation.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: EPA's Technology Innovation Office (TIO), of the Office of 
Solid Waste and Emergency Response, is announcing an invitation for 
submittal of new or updated information on innovative treatment 
technologies for participation in the VISITT database Version 4.0. This 
invitation is extended to technology vendors, developers, 
manufacturers, suppliers of innovative treatment technology equipment 
and services. VISITT is a database developed by EPA to disseminate 
information on innovative treatment technologies for remediation of 
soil and groundwater contaminated by hazardous wastes; it also provides 
a means for treatment technology vendors to make their products and 
capabilities known. VISITT 3.0, which was released in June, 1994, 
contains information on 277 technologies offered by 171 vendors and is 
expected to reach more than 10,000 users in over 60 countries. Vendors 
can be included in this database by meeting the below mentioned 
requirements and completing the Vendor Information Form.

DATES: Completed Vendor Information Form submitted by January 31, 1994 
will be considered for inclusion in the VISITT 4.0 scheduled for 
release in the summer of 1995.

ADDRESSES: To obtain the VISITT 4.0 Vendor Information Form (EPA-542-R-
94-004), call the EPA's National Center for Environmental Publications 
and Information at (513) 891-6561 or fax your request at (513) 891-
6685. Submit completed forms to: VISITT System Operator, PRC 
Environmental Management Inc., Suite 220, 1505 PRC Drive, McLean, VA 
22102.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The VISITT Hotline at 1-800-245-4505.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA anticipates that VISITT will continue to 
be used by professionals responsible for the cleanup of Superfund 
sites, RCRA corrective action sites, state-led cleanups, federal 
facility restoration programs, and remedial actions at leaking 
underground storage tank (UST) sites in the United States, as well as 
remediation projects abroad. The database will allow users to screen 
technologies for consideration in engineering feasibility studies, and 
to identify vendors who provide treatability studies and cleanup 
services.
    The database will contain information on vendors of innovative 
technologies that treat ground water in-situ, as well as soils, sludge, 
and sediments. Examples of technologies included are soil washing, 
thermal desorption, bioremediation, solvent extraction, and in-situ 
vitrification. VISITT will not include more established technologies 
such as incineration, solidification/stabilization, and traditional 
pump-and-treat ground water remediation. Also not included are 
technologies applicable to industrial waste streams, such as waste 
minimizing methods. Technologies may be at bench, pilot, or full scale. 
VISITT will contain the following minimum vendor information, as 
submitted in full by vendors: company information (name, address, 
contacts, and phone number); technology description; technology 
highlights and limitations; and applicable media, wastes and 
contaminants.
    Vendors must verify or update the information at least once a year 
to remain in the database. The information contained in this invitation 
for Submittal is approved by the Office of Management and Budget under 
OMB Control Number 2050-0114.
