Request for Contractor Access to TSCA Confidential Business Information (CBI) (Renewal)

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) procures contract support to facilitate the performance of certain duties. EPA may require contractors to handle Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Confidential Business Information (CBI). Each contractor employee who will use TSCA CBI in the performance of his or her duties must be authorized for access to TSCA CBI through a multi-step process. The TSCA CBI Protection Manual (EPA Publication 7700 A2, revised October 2003; see Attachment 2) provides Federal and contractor employees with guidelines and operating procedures for handling TSCA CBI while performing their official duties, as well as the procedures to obtain authorization for access to TSCA CBI. Specifically, for purposes of this information collection, contractor personnel must submit to EPA the EPA form titled TSCA CBI Access Request, Agreement, and Approval (EPA Form 7740-6; Attachment 3). The Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics (OPPT), uses EPA Form 7740-6 to collect information about contractor personnel so that the Agency can evaluate their suitability for access to TSCA CBI. EPA stores the information on the OPPT Chemical Information System (CIS).

The latest form for Request for Contractor Access to TSCA Confidential Business Information (CBI) (Renewal) expires 2026-07-31 and is listed under ICR 202207-2070-002.
