SUMMARY: EPA intends to transfer confidential business information 
(CBI) collected from the pulp, paper, and paperboard manufacturing 
industry to one contractor. Transfer of the information will allow the 
contractor to assist EPA in developing exposure assessments for the 
reregistration of microbiocides used in the pulp, paper, and paperboard 
industry under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act 
(FIFRA). The information being transferred was collected under the 
authority of section 308 of the Clean Water Act (CWA). Interested 
persons may submit comments on this intended transfer of information to 
the addresses noted below.

DATES: Comments on the transfer of data are due July 11, 1994.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA intends to transfer information, 
including CBI, to one contractor: Versar, Inc., 6850 Versar Center, 
Springfield, VA 22151. More specifically, the information being 
transferred to the contractor includes the following information 
collected under section 308 of the CWA: Information collected through 
questionnaires and surveys of the industry.
    EPA also intends to transfer to Versar all information listed above 
(including CBI) that may be collected or developed in the future under 
section 308 of CWA. This information is necessary to enable Versar to 
carry out the work required by their contract to support EPA's exposure 
assessment for the reregistration of microbiocides under FIFRA. The 
contractor, contract number, and type of support are as follows: 
Contractor: Versar, Inc.; Contract Number: 68-D3-0013; Type of Support: 
Exposure assessment.
    In the case of information claimed to be proprietary, and 
therefore, confidential, all regulations and confidentiality agreements 
apply. This transfer would not affect the status of this information as 
information claimed to be proprietary. The relevant contract contains 
all confidentiality provision required by EPA's confidentiality 
regulations. Need for access to the information shall continue until 
March 9, 1996.
    In accordance with those regulations, companies who have submitted 
information claimed to be confidential have until July 11, 1994, to
