Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposals, Submissions, and Approvals: Contractor Conflicts of Interest

Document ID: EPA-HQ-OARM-2010-0989-0001
Docket ID: EPA-HQ-OARM-2010-0989

EPA contractors will be required to disclose business relationships and corporate affiliations to determine whether EPA's interests are jeopardized by such relationships. Because EPA has the dual responsibility of cleanup and enforcement and because its contractors are often involved in both activities, it is imperative that contractors are free from conflicts of interest so as not to prejudice response and enforcement actions. Contractors will be required to maintain a database of business relationships and report information to EPA on either an annual basis or when each work order is issued.
