II. What action is the agency taking?

    Under Administrative and Technical Support for the Toxic Substances 
Control Act (TSCA) New Chemical Program (NCP) solicitation number 
47QRAA20D002D, task order number 68HERW27F0013, Avanti Corporation will 
perform technical and administrative tasks to support activities for 
the TSCA New Chemicals Program, including and not limited to: Tracking

correspondences, drafting TSCA Section 5(e) and 5(f) Orders, sanitizing 
documents containing TSCA CBI, preparing information to be uploaded 
into ChemView, performing analyses, and other related tasks to support 
the program. 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 Avanti Corporation to 
satisfactorily carry out the work required by the contract. 
Accordingly, Avanti Corporation 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 Avanti Corporation 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.
    Access to TSCA data, including CBI, will continue until October 31, 
2029. 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 information to a third party without prior 
written approval from the Agency.
    Avanti Corporation 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 Avanti 
Corporation will be maintained by EPA project officers for this 
contract. All information supplied to Avanti Corporation by EPA for use 
in connection with this contract will be returned to EPA when Avanti 
Corporation has completed its work.
