    Some of the information may be claimed to be confidential business

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The EPA is issuing this notice to inform all 
submitters of information under Section 114 of the CAA that the EPA may 
provide the above-mentioned State agency access to these materials on a 
need-to-know basis.
    In accordance with 40 CFR 2.301(h), the EPA has determined that 
CARB requires access to CBI concerning consumer and commercial products 
submitted to the EPA under Section 183(e) and Section 114 of the CAA in 
order to carry out its duties under California environmental protection 
laws and the CAA. Some of the information may be claimed or determined 
to be CBI. The CARB will be required to sign a nondisclosure agreement 
and will be briefed on appropriate security procedures before being 
permitted access to CBI. All CARB access to CAA CBI will take place at 
CARB's facilities. The CARB will have appropriate procedures and 
facilities in place to safeguard the CAA CBI to which CARB has access.
    Clearance for access to CAA CBI is scheduled to expire on September 
30, 1998.
