Contractors Will Access TSCA CBI
Starting no sooner than December 2, 2025, General Dynamics Information Technology (GDIT) and its subcontractors CompTech and Gridiron IT Solutions will be given access to information submitted to EPA under all sections of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), including material claimed or determined to be Confidential Business Information (CBI).
