III. Description of Programs and
Potential Disclosure of Information
Claimed as Confidential Business
Information (CBI) to Contractors
The EPA’s Office of Transportation
and Air Quality (OTAQ) has
responsibility for protecting public
health and the environment by
regulating air pollution from motor
vehicles, engines, and the fuels used to
operate them, and by encouraging travel
choices that minimize emissions. In
order to implement various Clean Air
Act programs, and to permit regulated
entities flexibility in meeting regulatory
requirements, we collect compliance
data and other information from them.
Typically, the information submitted is
claimed to be CBI. Information
submitted under such a claim is
handled in accordance with the 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
the 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 the information.
Controls regarding the handling of
information claimed as CBI, including
sharing of information with contractors,

and
and
and
and
40 CFR part 600.

the telephone number for the Air Docket
is (202) 566–1742.
PO 00000
and
Sfmt 4703
are also addressed in individual SSPs.
The required SSPs adhere to EPA
regulations and policies, as well as with
the National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST) Standard 800–53,
‘‘Recommended Security Controls for
Federal Information Systems and
Organizations.’’ (NIST Standard 800–53
addresses technical, physical,
environmental and other controls for
information systems, including Local
Area Networks (LANs) where
information claimed as CBI may be
stored.) Security plans address
background investigations, required
training, and rules of behavior for
employees and contractors who require
access to information claimed as CBI.
In accordance with 40 CFR 2.301(h),
we have determined that the
contractors, subcontractors, and
grantees (collectively referred to as
‘‘contractors’’) listed below require
access to CBI submitted to us under
Title II of the Clean Air Act and in
connection with various OTAQ
programs related to vehicles and
engines and are providing notice and an
opportunity to comment. OTAQ collects
this data and related information in
order to monitor compliance with Clean
Air Act programs and, in many cases, to
permit regulated parties flexibility in
meeting regulatory requirements. For
example, data that may contain CBI is
collected in order to determine if
equipment manufacturers may be
eligible for regulatory relief under EPA’s
Transition Program for Equipment
Manufacturers (40 CFR Parts 89, 1039
and 1054). The nature of the work and
its necessity, and the type of access
granted, is described below for each
contractor. Normally, EPA is required to
