of the Commission’s Regulations. The

estimated volumes to be delivered

through these facilities are

approximately 300,000 MMBtu annually

and 1,000 MMBtu on a peak day. The

cost of construction was $8,375 which

was reimbursed by ARKLA, a

distribution division of NorAm Energy

Corporation.

may, within 45 days after the

Commission has issued this notice, file

pursuant to Rule 214 of the

Commission’s Procedural Rules (18 CFR

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

AGENCY

[FRL–5399–7]

Clean Water Act; Contractor Access to

Confidential Business Information

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of intended transfer of

confidential business information to

contractors.

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA) intends to transfer to EPA

contractors, technical and financial

confidential business information (CBI)

collected from landfills, incinerators

and centralized waste treatment

facilities. Transfer of the information

will allow the contractors and

subcontractors to assist EPA in

developing effluent limitations

guidelines and standards under the

Clean Water Act (CWA) for the landfill,

incinerator, and centralized waste

treatment industries. The information

being transferred was collected under

the authority of Section 308 of the Clean

Water Act. Interested persons may

submit comments on this intended

transfer of information to the address

noted below.

DATES: Comments on the transfer of data

are due January 16, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be sent to

Samantha Hopkins, Engineering and

Analysis Division (4303),

Environmental Protection Agency,

Washington, DC 20460.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Samantha Hopkins at the above address

or at (202) 260–7149.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA has

previously transferred to its contractor

Science Applications International

Corporation (SAIC) of Hackensack, New

Jersey (and subcontractors) information,

including confidential business

information (CBI), concerning the

landfill, incinerator, and centralized

waste treatment industries (initially

grouped together as the ‘‘hazardous

waste treatment industry’’) collected

under the authority of the Clean Water

Act, Section 308.

The information transferred included:

Questionnaire data collected during a

two phase survey of the landfill and

incinerator industry; the first phase

consisted of a screener survey

questionnaire which was conducted in

1993 (OMB No. 2040–0162); the second

phase was a more detailed questionnaire

that was sent in 1994 to a selected

sample identified through the responses

to the questionnaire (OMB No. 2040–

0167); and, Questionnaire data collected
Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 2 / Wednesday, January 3, 1996 / Notices 163

from a detailed questionnaire that was

sent to 1991 to all known centralized

waste treatment facilities (OMB No.

2740–0151). EPA also transferred site

visit and field sampling data collected

during 1993 through 1995 for the

landfill and incinerator industry and

collected during 1991 through 1994 for

the centralized waste treatment

industry. EPA determined that this

transfer was necessary to enable the

contractors and subcontractors to

perform their work under EPA contract

Nos. 68–01–6947, 68–03–3509, and 68–

C1–0006 and related subcontracts by

assisting EPA in developing effluent

limitations guidelines and standards for

the centralized waste treatment, landfill,

and incinerator industries. Notice to this

effect was provided to the affected

companies at the time the data was

collected or through a Federal Register

notice.

Today, EPA is giving notice that it has

entered into a new contract, Contract

68–C5–0041 with Science Applications

International Incorporated (SAIC) of

Hackensack, New Jersey to develop

effluent limitations guidelines and

standards for the landfill and

incinerator industry. The effective date

of the new contract is November 2,

1995. SAIC will provide technical

support such as completion of the

public docket for the proposed

rulemaking and work on the technical

development documents. The contractor

shall also provide support on post

proposal efforts, including assisting

with public meetings, responding to

comments, filling data gaps that arise

through comments on the proposed

rule, and assisting the assembly of the

rulemaking record for the final rule.

Today, EPA is also giving notice that

it has entered into a new contract,

Contract 68–C5–0040 with Science

Applications International Incorporated

(SAIC) of Hackensack New Jersey to

develop effluent limitations guidelines

and standards for the centralized waste

treatment industry. The effective date of

the new contract is November 2, 1995.

SAIC will provide technical support

such as post proposal efforts, including

assisting with public meetings,

responding to comments, filling data

gaps that arise through comments on the

proposed rule, and assisting the

assembly of the rulemaking record for

the final rule.

In accordance with 40 CFR part 2,

subpart B, the previously collected

information described above (including

confidential business information) will

be transferred to SAIC. EPA has

determined that this transfer is

necessary to enable the contractor to

perform their work under EPA Contract

Nos. 68–C5–0041 and 68–C5–0040.

Anyone wishing to comment on the

above matters must submit comments to

the address given above by [Insert date

10 days from date of publication].
