SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. General Information

A. Does this action apply to me?

    This action is directed to the public in general. This action may, 
however, be of interest to all who manufacture, process, or distribute 
industrial chemicals. Since other entities may also be interested, the 
Agency has not attempted to describe all the specific entities that may 
be affected by this action.

B. How can I get copies of this document and other related information?

    The docket for this action, identified by docket identification 
(ID) number EPA-HQ-OPPT-2003-0004, is available at http://www.regulations.gov or at the Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics 
Docket (OPPT Docket), Environmental Protection Agency Docket Center 
(EPA/DC), West William Jefferson Clinton Bldg., Rm. 3334, 1301

about the docket available at http://www.epa.gov/dockets.

II. What action is the Agency taking?

    In the Spring of 2014, consistent with 40 CFR 2.209, the FDA 
requested access to information substances that may be present in foods 
(including animal food and feed), animal drugs, and cosmetics which is 
collected under the authority of the TSCA and FIFRA. This action gives 
notice that FDA will be given access to materials collected through the 
authority of TSCA and FIFRA, including information claimed as CBI. The 
access to this material is contemplated in a memorandum of 
understanding between the two agencies. The expectation is that the two 
agencies will share, on a reciprocal and as-needed basis, information, 
including non-public information, which may facilitate implementation 
of the agencies' respective programs. This activity is intended to 
maximize the utility of data collected under those statutes, and 
enhance the efficiency of the participants' regulatory processes and 
facilitate better risk management activities.
    EPA is issuing this notice to inform all submitters of information 
under all sections of TSCA and FIFRA, that EPA may provide FDA access 
to these CBI materials on a need-to-know basis only. All access to TSCA 
and FIFRA CBI under this agreement will take place at FDA Headquarters 
located at 4300 River Road, College Park, MD.
    Clearances for access to TSCA and FIFRA CBI under this arrangement 
may continue until terminated by either party.
    FDA personnel will be briefed on appropriate security procedures 
before they are permitted access to the CBI.

    Authority:  15 U.S.C. 2601 et seq.

    Dated: February 23, 2015.

Acting Director, Information Management Division, Office of Pollution 
Prevention and Toxics.
