Contractor Access to TSCA Confidential Data
The EPA will let Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) access information submitted under the Toxic Substances Control Act, including data claimed as Confidential Business Information (CBI), to support tasks like ChemView and the CIS recordkeeping system. This access will occur no sooner than May 19, 2026 and will continue until May 13, 2026, and it will continue for the duration of any contract extension without further notice.
CBI Protections and Access Conditions
SAIC personnel will get access to TSCA CBI only on a need-to-know basis, must sign nondisclosure agreements, and will be briefed on security procedures before access. The contract prohibits disclosure to third parties without prior written EPA approval, EPA project officers will keep records of information provided, and all information must be returned to EPA when SAIC completes its work.
