Clean Water Act; Contractor Access to 

Confidential Business Information 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency’s (EPA) Office of Water intends 

to transfer information collected from 

the construction and development 

industry and claimed as confidential 

business information (CBI) to The 

Cadmus Group (Cadmus) and its 

subcontractor. In addition, EPA plans to 

transfer CBI collected from the steam 

electric industry to a new subcontractor 

of a contractor, Eastern Research Group 

(ERG). EPA previously announced a CBI 

transfer to ERG (70 FR 9070, February 

24, 2005). The information being 

transferred will be collected under the 

authority of section 308 of the CWA. 

Transfer of the information will allow 

the contractors and subcontractors to 

access information necessary to support 

EPA in the planning, development, and 

review of effluent limitations guidelines 

and standards under the Clean Water 

Act (CWA). 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 October 7, 2010. 

ADDRESSES: Comments may be sent to 

Mr. M. Ahmar Siddiqui, Document 

Control Officer, Engineering and 

Analysis Division (4303T), Room 6231S 

EPA West, U.S. EPA, 1200 Pennsylvania 

Ave, NW., Washington, DC 20460. 

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 

awarded a task order, Task Order 21, 

under a multiple award contract, 

contract number EP–C–08–002, to 

Cadmus located in Watertown, 

Massachusetts. The purpose of this 

contract is to secure technical analysis 

support for EPA in its development, 

review, implementation, and defense of 

controls for stormwater discharges, 

including those from municipal separate 

storm sewer systems (MS4s). To obtain 

assistance in responding to this 

contract, Cadmus has entered into a 

contract with a subcontractor, 

Geosyntec Consultants, located in 

Brookline, Massachusetts. 

In addition, EPA is giving notice 

today that one of its contractors, ERG, 

contract number 68–C–02–095, has 

entered into a contract with a new 

subcontractor, Avanti Corporation, 

located in Alexandria, Virginia. The 

purpose of this new subcontractual 

relationship is to provide technical 

support for EPA in its development, 

review, implementation, and defense of 

controls for discharges from the steam 

electric industry. 

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. 

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. 

Cadmus will adhere to EPA-approved 

security plans which describe 

procedures to protect CBI. Cadmus 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.

Director, Office of Science and Technology.
