II. Contractor Requirements

    Under Contract No. EP-W-05-044, Cambridge Environmental Inc. and 
its subcontractor, Dynamac, will perform critical reviews of data 
evaluation records submitted by a registrant. The contractor shall 
evaluate the accuracy, credibility and scientific credibility of each 
record (also called studies), its suitability for meeting data 
requirements, and any necessary graphic displays of data and/or summary 
tables necessary to allow one to reach an independent conclusion about 
the results of the study. The Contractor shall also be asked to screen 
studies and data sets. Not all studies will have FIFRA CBI information. 
However, OPP expects to receive many new chemicals for registration. 
Most of these studies will contain FIFRA CBI. This work is described in 
Task 3 of the contract's Statement of Work.
    The OPP has determined that access by Cambridge Environmental Inc. 
and its subcontractor, Dynamac, to information on all presticide 
chemicals is necessary for the performance of this contract.
    Some of this information may be entitled to confidential treatment. 
The information has been submitted to EPA under sections 3, 4, 6, and 7 
of FIFRA and under sections 408 and 409 of FFDCA.
    In accordance with the requirements of 40 CFR 2.307(h)(2), the 
contract with Cambridge Environmental Inc. and its subcontractor, 
Dynamac, prohibits use of the information for any purpose not specified 
in the contract; prohibits disclosure of the information to a third 
party without prior written approval from the Agency; and requires that 
each official and employee of the contractor sign an agreement to 
protect the information from unauthorized release and to handle it in 
accordance with the FIFRA Information Security Manual. In addition, 
Cambridge Environmental Inc. and its subcontractor, Dynamac, are 
required to submit for EPA approval a security plan under which any CBI 
will be secured and protected against unauthorized release or 
compromise. No information will be provided to Cambridge Environmental 
Inc. and its subcontractor, Dynamac, until the requirements in this 
document have been fully satisfied. Records of information provided to 
Cambridge Environmental Inc. and its subcontractor, Dynamac, will be 
maintained by EPA Project Officers for this contract. All information 
supplied to Cambridge Environmental Inc. and its subcontractor, 
Dynamac, by EPA for use in connection with this contract will be
