characteristics, developing the hazardous waste identification rule, 
and developing rules and reports pertaining to the definition of solid 
waste, medical waste, used oil, waste generation and transportation, 
and universal waste, such as batteries and fluorescent light bulbs. EPA 
has determined that Dynamac Corporation and its subcontractor, will 
need access to RCRA CBI submitted to the Office of Solid Waste to 
complete this work. Dynamac Corporation and its subcontractor, needs

EPA under the authority of RCRA to perform work satisfactorily under 
the above-noted contract. EPA is submitting this notice to inform all

need-to-know basis. Upon completing its review of materials submitted, 
Dynamac Corporation, and its subcontractor, will return all CBI to EPA.
    EPA will authorize Dynamac Corporation, and its subcontractor, for 
access to CBI under the conditions and terms in EPA's ``Contractor 
Requirements for the Control and Security of RCRA Confidential Business 
Information Security Manual.'' Prior to transferring CBI to Dynamac 
Corporation, and its subcontractor, EPA will review and approve its 
security plans and Dynamac Corporation, and its subcontractor, will 
sign non-disclosure agreements.
