SUMMARY: EPA has authorized Radian Corporation (Radian), of Herndon, VA 
for access to information submitted to EPA pursuant to sections 303, 
311, 312, 313, and 322 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-
to-Know Act of 1986 (EPCRA), also known as Title III of the Superfund 
Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA). Some of the 
information may be claimed or determined to be trade secret 
information. EPA is issuing this notice to inform all submitters of 
trade secret information under the aforementioned EPCRA sections that 
EPA will provide Radian Corporation personnel access to trade secret 
information on a need-to-know basis.

DATES: Access to the trade secret information submitted by EPA will 
occur no sooner than December 13, 1994.

Environmental Protection Agency, Rm. NE--G102, 401 M St., SW., 
Washington, DC 20460, Telephone: (202) 260-3757.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under EPCRA, industry must report 
information on the presence, use, production, and manufacture of 
certain chemicals to EPA. Under section 322 of EPCRA, facilities must 
send trade secrecy claims regarding their section 303, 311, 312, and 
313 submittals to EPA.
    Under contract number 68-D4-0092, Radian will assist the Office of

EPCRA submissions at the EPCRA Reporting Center where submissions are 
received and processed. Radian Corporation will review selected 
submissions for technical accuracy and contact submitters regarding 
potential discrepancies.
    EPA has determined that Radian Corporation will require access to 
trade secret information under EPCRA to perform their contractual 
duties, and in doing so, Radian Corporation personnel will sign 
nondisclosure agreements and follow all required security procedures. 
All access to EPCRA trade secret information will take place at the 
EPCRA Reporting Center. Upon termination of their contract, or prior to 
termination of their contract at EPA's request, Radian will return all 
materials to EPA. Clearance to access to EPCRA trade secret information 
under this contract is scheduled to expire on September 30, 1999.
