II. Contractor Requirements
Under Contract No. EP-W-07-025,
Syracuse Environmental Research
Associates, Inc. and its subcontractor,
Syracuse Research Corporation, will
access FIFRA/CBI data in the
preparation of assessments and
characterizations of pesticides. The
assessments and characterizations will
assess drinking water and its risk to
humans and nonhumans. Assessment
production support would include
developing full ecological risk
assessments and or drinking water
exposure assessments, preparing
sections of risk assessments,
investigating a specific issue or problem
related to a risk assessment, or
conducting literature searches for data
on individual chemicals or groups of
chemicals to augment existing data sets.
An ecological risk assessment in OPP
evaluates the likelihood that adverse
ecological effects may occur as a result
of exposure to a pesticide. It includes
three primary phases: Problem
formulation, analysis, and risk
characterization. A drinking water
assessment generally includes a
discussion of the pesticide usage
including application methods and
rates, and geographical areas of use, the
occurrence exposure data used to assess
exposure, a description of the models
and scenarios used to estimate
concentration in both surface water and
PO 00000

ground water, and a discussion of the
uncertainty and data gaps.
The OPP has determined that access
by Syracuse Environmental Research
Associates, Inc. and its subcontractor,
Syracuse Research Corporation, to
information on all pesticide chemicals
may be necessary for the performance of
this contract.
Some of this information may be
entitled to confidential treatment. The
information has been submitted to EPA
under sections 3, 4, 6, and 7 of FIFRA
and under sections 408 and 409 of
FFDCA.
In accordance with the requirements
of 40 CFR 2.307(h)(2), the contract with
Syracuse Environmental Research
Associates, Inc. and its subcontractor,
Syracuse Research Corporation
prohibits use of the information for any
purpose not specified in the contract;

to a third party without prior written
approval from the Agency; and requires
that each official and employee of the
contractor sign an agreement to protect
the information from unauthorized
release and to handle it in accordance
with the FIFRA Information Security
Manual. In addition, Syracuse
Environmental Research Associates, Inc.
and its subcontractor, Syracuse
Research Corporation, are required to
submit for EPA approval a security plan
under which any CBI will be secured
and protected against unauthorized
release or compromise. No information
will be provided to Syracuse
Environmental Research Associates, Inc.
and its subcontractor, Syracuse
Research Corporation Staff, until the
requirements in this document have
been fully satisfied. Records of
information provided to Syracuse
Environmental Research Associates, Inc.
and its subcontractor, Syracuse
