EPA continues to carefully and continuously monitor information from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention CDC, local area health departments, and our Federal partners so that we can respond rapidly as conditions change regarding COVID19.
III. Description of Programs and Potential Disclosure of Information Claimed as Confidential Business Information CBI to Contractors EPAs 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 CAA
programs, and to permit regulated entities flexibility in meeting regulatory requirements e.g., compliance on average, we collect compliance reports and other information from them.
Parties may claim the submitted information as CBI. Information submitted under such a claim is handled in accordance with EPAs regulations at 40 CFR part 2, subpart B
and in accordance with EPA
procedures, including comprehensive system security planning. When 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 data.
In accordance with 40 CFR 2.301h, we have determined that the contractors, subcontractors, and grantees collectively referred to as contractors listed below require access to CBI submitted to us under the CAA and in connection with various programs related to the regulation of fuels under 40 CFR part 1090. OTAQ
collects this data in order to monitor compliance with CAA programs and, in many cases, to permit regulated parties flexibility in meeting regulatory requirements. Certain programs under 40 CFR part 1090 are designed to permit regulated parties an opportunity to comply on average, or to engage in transactions using various types of credits. For example, parties that participate in programs that utilize credits e.g. the gasoline sulfur and gasoline benzene program submit information related to credit transactions. Data submitted under 40

CFR part 1090 includes information related to reformulated and conventional gasoline, diesel fuel, detergents, and regulated blendstocks.
Fuels program data is reviewed and assessed to determine the success of the programs or to plan for regulatory improvements. We are issuing this notice to inform all affected submitters of information that we plan to grant access to material that may be claimed as CBI to the contractors identified below on a need-to-know basis.
