03F–065BA (the contract), SafeGuard
Document Destruction Inc. (SDD) of 800
Rike Drive, Suite A, Perrineville, NJ
08535, is responsible for providing
locked bins and for shredding the hard
copy records which the agency has
identified for disposal at two of its
regional offices—regional headquarters
at 1650 Arch Street, Philadelphia, PA
19103 and the Chesapeake Bay Program
Office at 410 Severn Avenue, Suite 109,
Annapolis, MD 21403. Records that
contain CBI may be included among
those being shredded.
EPA will permit SDD personnel to
have access to locked disposal bins
which contain information submitted to
EPA under the statutes administered by
EPA Region 3. Some of the information
may be claimed or determined to be
CBI. In accordance with 40 CFR
2.301(h)(2)(i) (Clean Air Act (CAA)), and
any provisions from 40 CFR 2.302
through 2.310 incorporating 40 CFR
2.301(h)(2)(i) (Clean Water Act (CWA),
Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA),
Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act (RCRA), Comprehensive
Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act
(CERCLA)), 40 CFR 2.306(j) (Toxic
Substances Control Act (TSCA)), 40 CFR
2.307(h)(3) (Federal Insecticide,
Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act
(FIFRA)), 40 CFR 2.308(i) (Federal Food,
Drug and Cosmetic Act (FDCA)), 40 CFR
350.23(b) (Emergency Planning and
Community Right-to-Know Act
(EPCRA)), EPA has determined that SDD
requires access to locked disposal bins
which may contain CBI submitted to
EPA, to perform successfully the duties
required to carry out the contract.
Among the procedures established by
EPA’s confidentiality regulations for
granting access to CBI is prior
notification to the submitters of CBI that
SDD may have access to this
information. See 40 CFR 2.301(h)(2)(iii)
for information submitted under the
CAA, corresponding provisions of 40
CFR 2.302 through 2.311 for information
submitted under the CWA, SDWA,
RCRA, TSCA, FIFRA, FDCA, CERCLA,
and 40 CFR 350.23 for EPCRA. This
notification is intended to fulfill that
requirement. EPA Region 3 has
permitted SDD personnel access to this
information prior to publishing this
document. All potential access to CBI
under the contract has and will
continue to occur at the two EPA Region
3 offices located in Philadelphia and
Annapolis. EPA Region 3 is
implementing the following procedures
to ensure the security of the files
identified for disposal and the
information therein. First, EPA
personnel deposit records that are ready
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:23 Apr 02, 2021
Jkt 253001
for disposal into locked bins located at
either of the two EPA Region 3 offices.
Next, during normal business hours,
SDD travels to the appropriate EPA
Region 3 office building with its
shredding apparatus and is escorted into
the building by EPA personnel to
retrieve the locked bins. Accompanied
by EPA personnel, SDD conducts onsite
shredding of the contents of the bins
immediately after unlocking and
emptying them into the shredding
apparatus. The contract prohibits SDD
personnel from viewing, inspecting,
examining, or copying the materials
identified for shredding and requires
SDD to safeguard such information.
Additionally, SDD is prohibited from
transporting or shredding any records
offsite.
SDD’s potential access to CBI under
the contract began on or about July 7,
2020 and will expire on October 31,
2021. If the contract is further extended,
this access will also continue for the
duration of the extension without
further notice.
