Changes
in
the
Estimates:
There
is
a
decrease
of
359,904
hours
in
the
total
estimated
burden
currently
identified
in
the
OMB
Inventory
of
Approved
ICR
Burdens.
This
decrease
is
due
to
a
decrease
in
the
respondent
universe,
as
well
as
decreases
in
the
burden
assumptions.
The
assumptions
for
the
burden
associated
with
understanding
the
regulations,
calculated
when
the
regulations
were
new,
have
been
revised
after
consultations
with
respondents.

II.
What
Action
is
the
Agency
Taking?
EPA
has
recently
been
informed
that
the
parent
company
to
EPA
contractor
Dyncorp
Systems
and
Solutions
LLC
(
DSS),
finalized
a
merger
agreement
with
Computer
Sciences
Corporation
(
CSC)
of
El
Segundo,
California.
In
the
coming
months,
the
DSS
contracts
will
be
amended
to
reflect
the
change
of
status
in
the
contractor.
Until
that
time,
EPA
continues
to
hold
DSS,
and
its
successor,
CSC,
responsible
for
performance,
including
adherence
to
all
rules
and
procedures
providing
for
the
access
and
protection
of
TSCA
CBI
under
existing
contracts.
DSS
has
stated
that
from
a
technical
performance
standpoint,
no
changes
in
support
of
management
personnel
are
envisioned
as
a
result
of
the
merger.
From
a
contractual
point
of
view,
Dyncorp
represents
that
it
will
continue
contracting
with
EPA
as
the
same
legal
entity
­
DSS.
The
merger
between
DSS's
parent
company
(
Dyncorp)
and
CSC
is
intended
to
make
Dyncorp
a
CSC
company.
At
all
times
during
this
corporate
acquisition
or
merger,
all
contractor
employees
were
trained
and
cleared
for
access
to
TSCA
CBI.
In
addition,
all
employees
had
signed
and
remained
subject
to
the
standard
non­
disclosure
agreements
required
of
all
such
persons
working
with
TSCA
CBI.
Aside
from
providing
this
notice,
EPA
is
not
immediately
engaging
in
any
other
action.
In
the
next
6
months,
EPA
expects
that
there
will
be
an
effort
to
modify
the
existing
contracts
with
EPA
and
when
this
occurs,
there
will
be
a
series
of
actions
intended
to
effectuate
this,
including
notices,
as
required
under
existing
regulations.
