55074 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 186 / Wednesday, September 24, 2008 / Notices 

Environmental, LLC (PG), contract 

number EP–C–07–029, located in 

Herndon, VA, and with Westat, contract 

numbers EP–D–07–109 and GS–23F– 

8144H, located in Rockville, MD. The 

purpose of these contracts is to secure 

economic, technical, and statistical 

analysis support for EPA in its 

development, review, implementation, 

and defense of effluent limitation 

guidelines and standards for, and 

studies of the environmental impacts 

and potential mitigation of effluent 

discharges for, a variety of industries, 

such as the drinking water treatment 

industry and the airport deicing 

industry. To obtain assistance in 

performing these contracts, Abt and PG 

have entered into contracts with their 

subcontractors. In particular, Abt has 

obtained the services of the following 

subcontractors: RTI International 

(located in Research Triangle Park, NC, 

subcontract number 21043); ICF 

Consulting (located in Fairfax, VA, 

subcontract number 21052); Great Lakes 

Environmental Center (located in 

Traverse City, MI, subcontract number 

21040); Horizon Systems Corporation 

(located in Herndon, VA, subcontract 

number 21050); Aqua Terra (located in 

Mountain View, CA, subcontract 

number 21049); ETI (located in 

Westford, MA, subcontract number 

21171); Stratus Consulting, Inc. (located 

in Washington, DC, subcontract number 

20657); Indtai Inc. (located in Falls 

Church, VA, subcontract number 

21046); and independent consultants 

Frank Arnold, Brynhildur Davidsdottir, 

Lori Snyder Bennear, Robert Johnston, 

Tim Bondelid, and Kurt Stephenson. PG 

has obtained the services of the 

following subcontractors: Amendola 

Engineering, Inc. (located in Westlake, 

OH, subcontract number EAD/029–003); 

Tetra Tech, Inc. (located in Fairfax, VA, 

subcontract number EAD/029–002); and 

Eastern Research Group (located in 

Chantilly, VA, subcontract number 

EAD/029–001). 

All EPA contractor, subcontractor, 

and consultant personnel are bound by 

the requirements and sanctions 

contained in their contracts with EPA 

and in EPA’s confidentiality regulations 

found at 40 CFR Part 2, Subpart B. Abt, 

PG, and Westat will adhere to EPAapproved security plans which describe 

procedures to protect CBI. Abt, PG, and 

Westat will apply the procedures in 

these plans to CBI previously gathered 

by EPA and to CBI that may be gathered 

in the future for the airport deicing 

industry, the drinking water treatment 

industry, and other industries. The 

security plans specify that contractor 

personnel are required to sign nondisclosure agreements and are briefed 

on appropriate security procedures 

before they are permitted access to CBI. 

No person is automatically granted 

access to CBI: a need to know must 

exist. 

The information that will be 

transferred to Abt, PG, and Westat and 

their subcontractors consists, in part, of 

information previously collected by 

EPA to support the development, 

review, implementation, and defense of 

effluent limitations guidelines and 

standards under the CWA and for 

studies of the environmental impacts of 

and potential mitigation of effluent 

discharges from the airport deicing 

point source category, the drinking 

water treatment industry, the health 

services industry, and other industries. 

The information that will be transferred 

consists of material claimed as trade 

secrets, intellectual property, 

commercial, financial, and other 

information. It includes information 

about operations, processes, products, 

and company finances but does not 

include information which is inherently 

public, such as effluent discharge data. 

EPA also intends to transfer to Abt, 

PG, and Westat all information 

described in this notice, of the type 

described above (including CBI) that 

may be collected in the future under the 

authority of section 308 of the CWA or 

voluntarily submitted (e.g., in comments 

in response to a Federal Register 

notice), as is necessary to enable Abt, 

PG, and Westat to carry out the work 

required by their contracts to support 

EPA.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: The Clean Air Scientific 

Advisory Committee (CASAC) was 

established under section 109(d)(2) of 

the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act) (42 

U.S.C. 7409) as an independent 

scientific advisory committee. CASAC 

provides advice, information and 

recommendations on the scientific and 

technical aspects of air quality criteria 

and national ambient air quality 

standards (NAAQS) under sections 108 

and 109 of the Act. The CASAC is a 

Federal advisory committee chartered 

under the Federal Advisory Committee 

Act (FACA), as amended, 5 U.S.C., App. 

The Panel will comply with the 

provisions of FACA and all appropriate 

SAB Staff Office procedural policies. 

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 

oxides of nitrogen (NOX). EPA is in the 

process of reviewing the primary 

NAAQS for nitrogen dioxide (NO2), an 

indicator for NOX. Primary standards set 

limits to protect public health, 

including the health of ‘‘sensitive’’ 

populations such as asthmatics, 

children, and the elderly. 

As part of its scientific advice to 

support EPA’s review of the primary 

NAAQS for nitrogen dioxide (NO2), 

CASAC met on September 9–10, 2008 to 


jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES

meeting, on the EPA Web site at http://
