SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The EPA is issuing this notice to inform all 
submitters of information under section 114 of the CAA that EPA may 
provide the above mentioned subcontractors access to these materials on 
a need-to-know basis. These subcontractors will provide technical 
support to the Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards (OAQPS) in 
source assessment or with a source category survey and proceed through 
development of standards for a Federal Air Pollution Control Regulation 
or Control Techniques Guidelines (CTG).
    In accordance with 40 CFR 2.301(h), EPA has determined that each 
subcontractor requires access to CBI submitted to EPA under sections 
112 and 114 of the CAA in order to perform work satisfactorily under 
the above noted contracts. The subcontractors' personnel will be given 
access to information submitted under section 114 of the CAA. Some of 
the information may be claimed or determined to be CBI. The 
subcontractors' personnel will be required to sign nondisclosure 
agreements and will be briefed on appropriate security procedures 
before they are permitted access to CBI. All subcontractor access to 
CAA CBI will take place at the subcontractors' facility. Each 
subcontractor will have appropriate procedures and facilities in place 
to safeguard the CAA CBI to which the contractor has access.
    Clearance for access to CAA CBI is scheduled to expire on September 
30, 1998 under contract 68D40099 and on September 30, 1997 under 
contract 68D40107.
