Confidential Business Information under TSCA

TSCA CBI Training - Responsibilities

Termination of Employment or Status for DCO

The procedure that must be followed when a DCO terminates his/her employment, or relinquishes DCO responsibilities are the same for those of a DCO at EPA Headquarters, regional offices, other federal agencies and contractor facilities.

At termination of employment or DCO status, TSCA CBI under a DCO's authority must be inventoried. The outgoing DCO and the incoming DCO must jointly perform an inventory of TSCA CBI in the outgoing DCO's collection of records. Both parties must confirm the inventory before the outgoing DCO departs. The incoming DCO must retain a copy of the inventory for audit purposes and forward a copy to the EPA OPPT DCO.
