SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

A. Does this action apply to me?

    This action is directed to the public in general. This action may, 
however, be of interest to all who manufacture, process, or distribute 
industrial chemicals. Since other entities may also be interested, the 
Agency has not attempted to describe all the specific entities that may 
be affected by this action.

B. How can I get copies of this document and other related information?

    EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket ID no. 
EPA-HQ-OPPT-2003-0004. Publicly available docket materials are 
available electronically through <a href="http://www.regulations.gov">http://www.regulations.gov</a>. Additional 
instructions on commenting and visiting the docket, along with more 
information about dockets generally, is available at <a href="https://www.epa.gov/dockets">https://www.epa.gov/dockets</a>.

II. What action is the Agency taking?

    Under Geospatial, Analytics, Visualization, and Envirofacts 
Information Technology Support Services (GAVETS) solicitation number 
47QFPA24K0008, task 3.3 for data warehousing and task 3.4 for data 
services and analytics. SAIC will perform work supporting the 
operations and maintenance of the ChemView web applications and 
supporting applications. Their tasks will require access to the TSCA 
CBI LAN and the TSCA program's recordkeeping system, CIS. CIS contains 
both confidential and public TSCA data and is a primary data source for 
ChemView.
    In accordance with the requirements of 40 CFR 2.306(f), EPA has 
determined that the disclosure of CBI submitted to EPA under all 
sections of TSCA is necessary for SAIC to satisfactorily carry out the 
work required by the contract. Accordingly, SAIC personnel will be 
given access to information, including information submitted to EPA 
under all sections of TSCA, some of which may be claimed or determined 
to be CBI.
    EPA is issuing this notice to inform all submitters that EPA will 
provide SAIC access to these CBI materials on a need-to-know basis 
only. All access to TSCA CBI under this contract takes place in 
accordance with EPA's TSCA CBI Protection Manual and/or any other EPA 
manual applicable to the protection of TSCA CBI.
    Access to TSCA data, including CBI, will continue until May 13, 
2026. If the contract is extended, this access will also continue for 
the duration of the extended contract without further notice. In 
accordance with the requirements of 40 CFR 2.306(f), the contract 
prohibits disclosure of the information to a third party without prior 
written approval from the Agency.
    SAIC personnel will sign nondisclosure agreements and will be 
briefed on appropriate security procedures before they are permitted 
access to TSCA CBI. Records of information provided to SAIC will be 
maintained by EPA project officers for this contract. All information 
supplied to SAIC by EPA for use in connection with this contract will 
be returned to EPA when SAIC has completed its work.

    Dated: May 6, 2026.
Douglas M. Troutman,
Assistant Administrator, Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution 
Prevention.
