SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Does this action apply to me?
This action applies to the public in general. As such, the Agency
has not attempted to describe all the specific entities that may be
affected by this action.
II. What action is the Agency taking?
Under EPA contract number GS-35F-0059S/BPA-68HERD22A0006, the
contractor, Datawiz Corporation, and its subcontractors, DMI and WIPRO,
will perform Information Technology Services to support OCSPP's
Information Management Systems. These services will enhance the use of
OCSPP chemical information and associated project and program plan
through effective data management. This includes maintaining and
equipping OCSPP with knowledge and tools that enable efficient
analysis, assessment, evaluation, and decision-making, as well as
managing the new development projects using an Agile Development
methodology and CMMI Level III best practices.
OCSPP has determined that Datawiz Corporation and its
subcontractors, DMI and WIPRO, requires access to all pesticide and
chemical related information submitted to EPA under FIFRA, FFDCA and
TSCA to perform successfully the duties specified under the contract.
Some of this information may be claimed or determined to be CBI.
In accordance with the requirements of 40 CFR 2.307(h)(2), the
contract with Datawiz Corporation and its subcontractors, DMI and
WIPRO, prohibits the use of the information for

any purpose not specified in the contract; prohibits disclosure of the
information to a third party without prior written approval from the
Agency; and requires that each official and employee of the contractor
and subcontractors sign an agreement to protect the information from
unauthorized release and to handle it in accordance with applicable
procedures and requirements associated with handling information that
may be claimed or determined to be CBI (i.e., pursuant to the FIFRA and
TSCA Information Security Manuals and 40 CFR part 2). In addition,
Datawiz Corporation, and its subcontractors, DMI and WIPRO, are
required to submit for EPA approval a security plan detailing how
information claimed or determined to be CBI will be secured and
protected against unauthorized release or compromise. No information
will be provided to Datawiz Corporation and its subcontractors, DMI and
WIPRO, until the requirements in the approved security plan have been
fully satisfied. Records of information provided to Datawiz Corporation
and its subcontractors, DMI and WIPRO, will be maintained by the EPA
Project Officers for this contract. All information supplied to Datawiz
Corporation and its subcontractors, DMI and WIPRO, by EPA for use in
connection with this contract will be returned to EPA when Datawiz
Corporation and its subcontractors, DMI and WIPRO, have completed their
work.
Access to this information, including any information that may be
claimed or determined to be CBI, will continue for the duration of the
contract without further notice, including during any contract
extensions.
