GDIT, SAVAN, ADS Will Access TSCA CBI
Starting May 26, 2026, three contractors—GDIT, SAVAN, and Agile Decision Sciences (ADS)—will be given access to information submitted to EPA under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), including information that submitters have claimed as Confidential Business Information (CBI), to support digitizing paper records.
Access Continues Until Digitization or Contract End
Contractor access to TSCA data, including CBI, will continue until the TSCA materials are fully digitized or until each contractor's contract ends: ADS on 2028-12-24, Savan on 2027-12-31, and GDIT on 2029-03-28, whichever occurs first; extensions will continue access for the extension period without further notice.
Nondisclosure and Security Protections Required
Before accessing TSCA CBI, GDIT, SAVAN, and ADS personnel must sign nondisclosure agreements, be briefed on security procedures, follow EPA's TSCA CBI Protection Manual, and the contract prohibits disclosure to third parties without prior written EPA approval; EPA project officers will keep records and contractors must return all information when work is done.
