SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency’s (EPA) Office of Water intends

information (CBI) collected from 

numerous industries to Westat, and its 

subcontractors. The information being 

transferred was or will be collected 

under the authority of section 308 of the

pulp, paper, and paperboard industry 

was collected under the additional 

authorities of section 114 of the Clean 

Air Act (CAA) and section 3007 of the 

Resource Conservation and Recovery 

Act (RCRA). Transfer of the information 

will allow the contractor and 

subcontractors to access information 

necessary to support EPA in the

effluent limitations guidelines and 

standards under the CWA. Interested 

persons may submit comments on this 

intended transfer of information to the 

address noted below.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

M. Ahmar Siddiqui, Document Control 

Officer, at (202) 566–1044, or via e-mail 

at siddiqui.ahmar@epa.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA has 

transferred CBI to various contractors 

and subcontractors over the history of 

the effluent guidelines program. EPA 

determined that this transfer was 

necessary to enable the contractors and 

subcontractors to perform their work in 

supporting EPA in planning, 

developing, and reviewing effluent 

guidelines and standards for certain 

industries. 

Today, EPA is giving notice that it has 

entered into a contract with Westat, 

contract number EP–C–10–023, located 

in Rockville, Maryland. The purpose of 

this contract is to secure statistical 

analysis support for EPA in its 

development, review, implementation, 

and defense of water-related initiatives 

for a variety of industries. To obtain 

assistance in responding to this 

contract, Westat has entered into 

contracts with the following 

subcontractors: Soller Environmental 

(located in Berkeley, California), Tamre 

Cordoza (located in Seattle, 

Washington), Alice Shelly (located in 

Austin, Texas), Peter Guttorp (located in 

Seattle, Washington), and Richard Davis 

(located in New York, New York). 

All EPA contractor, subcontractor, 

and consultant personnel are bound by 

the requirements and sanctions

55578 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 176 / Monday, September 13, 2010 / Notices 

contained in their contracts with EPA 

and in EPA’s confidentiality regulations 

found at 40 CFR part 2, subpart B. 

Information submitted under a claim of 

business confidentiality is handled in 

accordance with EPA’s regulations at 40 

CFR part 2, subpart B and in accordance 

with EPA procedures, including 

comprehensive system security plans 

(SSPs), that are consistent with those 

regulations. When 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. 

Westat will adhere to EPA-approved 

security plans which describe 

procedures to protect CBI. Westat will 

apply the procedures in these plans to 

CBI previously gathered by EPA and to 

CBI that may be gathered in the future. 

The security plans specify that 

contractor personnel are required to sign 

non-disclosure 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 Westat consists of 

information previously collected by 

EPA to support the development and 

review of effluent limitations guidelines 

and standards under the CWA. In 

particular, information, including CBI, 

collected for the planning, development, 

and review of effluent limitations 

guidelines and standards for the 

following industries may be transferred: 

Airport deicing; aquaculture; 

centralized waste treatment; 

concentrated animal feeding operations; 

coal mining; construction and 

development; drinking water treatment; 

industrial container and drum cleaning; 

industrial laundries; industrial waste 

combustors; iron and steel 

manufacturing; landfills; meat and 

poultry products; metal finishing; metal 

products and machinery; nonferrous 

metals manufacturing; oil and gas 

extraction (including coalbed methane); 

ore mining and dressing; organic 

chemicals, plastics, and synthetic fibers; 

pesticide chemicals; petroleum refining; 

pharmaceutical manufacturing; pulp, 

paper, and paperboard manufacturing; 

steam electric power generation; textile 

mills; timber products processing; 

tobacco; and transportation equipment 

cleaning. 

EPA also intends to transfer to Westat 

all information listed 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 Westat to carry out the work 

required by its contract to support EPA’s 

effluent guidelines planning process 

and the development of effluent 

limitations guidelines and standards.
