I. What is the Search Engine Linking Environmental Characterization and Treatment
Technologies?
The Search Engine Linking Environmental Characterization and Treatment Technologies
(Tech SELECTT) is a service offered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA)
Technology Innovation Office (TIO) to promote the use of technologies for the treatment,
characterization or monitoring of contaminated sites. The predecessor systems Vendor
FACTS Version 3.0 (154 technologies provided by 116), and VTSITT Version 6.0, (371
technologies provided by 214 vendors) were released in January 1998. The purpose of Tech
SELECTT is to foster communication between technology vendors and users by providing
information on the availability, performance, and cost associated with the application of
these technologies. Tech SELECTT is intended to inform Federal, state, and private-sector
remediation professionals of their treatment, characterization and monitoring options and the
capabilities of the firms listed in the system's database to provide remediation services.
II. Which Technologies are Eligible for Inclusion?
By this Vendor Information Form (VIF), EPA is inviting technology developers and vendors
to submit information on specific categories of technologies for participation in Version 1.0
of Tech SELECTT. EPA has chosen these categories because it believes they represent the
greatest potential for streamlining the site characterization or monitoring processes.
Technologies meeting the following criteria will be included in Tech SELECTT:
1. Fieldable technologies: portable or transportable equipment for on-site monitoring,
screening, and analysis of hazardous substances. Stand alone modeling software
used in the field to facilitate or expedite the site characterization process (i.e., site
characterization modeling software) will also be included in the database.
2. Technologies that fall in one of the categories listed in Table 1.1 on the following
page.
The following categories of technologies are not eligible for inclusion in the database:
Technologies for monitoring or characterizing industrial process waste streams; general
purpose software to manipulate data as part of a site characterization technology listed in
Table 1.1; radioactivity sensors, fixed-based (off-site) analytical equipment; remote sensors
operated from airccraft or satellite platforms (e.g., multispectral scanners); and technologies
that have minor improvement over established technologies.
Technologies of interest include those at any stage of development (e.g. mature, or pre-
commercial); however, we prefer information on technologies that can be commercialized,
rather than those used only in academic research. EPA may consider additional types of
technologies in future versions depending on feedback from users. Please send a one page
description of suggested new technologies to the address listed in Section VII.

HI. Why Should You Participate?
Tech SELECTT is an excellent opportunity for vendors to promote their capabilities. The
system allows the vendor to provide substantial information on the applicability, cost,
performance, and current use of their technologies. The database will be publicly available
free-of-charge on the Internet. We anticipate reaching cleanup personnel and investors
throughout the U.S. and abroad by widely advertising Tech SELECTT in trade journals, at
conferences, and through direct mailings to an extensive list of potential users.
IV. Should Confidential Business Information Be Submitted?
No. Submittal of technology information for inclusion in Tech SELECTT is voluntary, and
submittals should not include confidential business information. However, applicants may
write "available on a case-by-case basis" as their response to those questions for which they
have information, but would prefer not to make this information generally available.
n
-------
For confidential projects that otherwise could not be included, applicants are encouraged to
provide "sanitized" or masked information that will allow users to review general
information on a vendor's experience, without revealing confidential information. For
instance, in Part 5, which details project experience, you may provide a generic industry
name, such as "organic chemical manufacturer" instead of the actual site name.
V. Submittal of Process Flow Diagrams, Schematics or Pictures
Vendors should provide a flow chart, schematic or picture of the monitoring or measurement
process or equipment. To ensure that schematics are legible in the final system, EPA
recommends that schematics be submitted in an Encapsulated Postscript (EPS), Bitmap
(BMP), Tag Image File (TIF) or Zsoft PC Paintbrush Bitmap (PCX) electronic format. If no
electronic copy is available, a camera-ready hard copy suitable for computer scanning is
acceptable.
VI. How Much Documentation is Required Regarding Performance and Other Technology
Claims?
The characterization and monitoring technology portion of Tech SELECTT is a service
provided by EPA to showcase vendor's technologies and capabilities. Therefore, it is in the
applicant's best interest to fill out each part of VIF as completely as possible since incomplete
information may discourage users from considering the technology further.
EPA will review each submittal for clarity, completeness, and adherence to instructions and
may contact vendors to clarify information submitted. If the Agency makes any substantive
changes to the submittal the respondent will be given the opportunity to review and
comment, with one exception: EPA may list publicly-available information or references on
Superfund sites or Federal facilities at which the vendor's technology has been used.
The Agency will not review submitted data for accuracy or quality; to do so would be too
resource intensive and subjective, and would substantially delay dissemination of the
database. Tech SELECTT will clearly state that vendors have supplied the information, and
that the data have not been verified by the Agency. Applicants should expect that interested
users may request additional information regarding applicability and performance of a
particular monitoring or measurement technology. The database will contain the following
disclaimer:
"Inclusion in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Tech SELECTT database
does not mean that the Agency approves, recommends, licenses, certifies, or
authorizes the use of any of the technologies. Nor does the Agency certify the
accuracy of the data. This listing means only that the vendor has provided
information on a technology that EPA considers to be eligible for inclusion in this
database."

VIII. EPA's Authority for Submittal and Burden Statement
EPA's authority for conducting this invitation for submittals is Section 311 of the Superfund
Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (42 U.S.C. 9601 et seq.). Under Section 311,
EPA may collect and disseminate information related to the use of monitoring and measuring
technologies for the detection of hazardous substances at hazardous waste sites.
EPA estimates that the vendor reporting burden for this collection of information will
average 25 hours per respondent for one original submittal and 13 hours for submittal of an
update. These estimates include the time applicants will require to review and maintain the
data needed, and to complete and review the VIF. Comments about this estimate of burden,
or any other issue or concern related to reduction of the burden, should be sent to Chief,

APPENDIX A
BUSINESS CLASSIFICATION INFORMATION
The following information is intended to be used as a reference to answer question 1.4. SIC code
information and definitions are given below. To determine if your company is a small and/or
disadvantaged business^ first identify the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code for your company
and secondly identify whether your company qualifies as a small business under that SIC code. Small
and disadvantaged businesses are defined below.
Definition of SIC Code
Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Code - refers to the four-digit number assigned by the
government to classify establishments by the type of activity in which they are engaged. The codes are
published by the Government in the Standard Industrial Classification Manual. The Manual is intended
to cover the entire field of economic activities. It classifies and defines activities by industry categories
and is the source used by the Small Business Administration (SBA) as a guide in defining industries for
size standards. The number of employees or annual receipts indicates the maximum allowed for a
concern, including its affiliates, to be considered small (Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 90-43,
Interim Rule 61, Federal Register (FR) 67408, December 20,1996, Federal Acquisition Regulation
(FAR), 19.102(g)).
Most remediation firms should fall under one of the SIC codes defined below.
The following SIC code definitions are taken from the Standard Industrial Classification Manual, 1987,
Office of Management and Budget.
SIC code 4953: Refuse Systems (i.e., activities related to actual site cleanup) Establishments primarily
engaged in the collection and disposal of refuse by processing or destruction or in the operation of
incinerators, waste treatment plants, landfills, or other sites for disposal of such materials.
Establishments primarily engaged in collecting and transporting refuse without such disposal are
classified in Transportation, Industry 4212.
Acid waste, collection and disposal of
Ashes, collection and disposal of
Dumps, operation of
Garbage: collecting, destroying, and
processing
Hazardous waste material disposal sites
Incinerator operation
Landfill, sanitary: operation of
Radioactive waste materials, disposal of
Refuse systems
Rubbish collection and disposal
Sludge disposal sites
Street refuse systems
Waste materials disposal at sea
SIC code 8711: Engineering Services (i.e., activities related to remedial investigations, feasibility
studies, and remedial design) Establishments primarily engaged in providing professional engineering
services. Establishments primarily providing and supervising their own engineering staff on temporary
contract to other firms are included in this industry. Establishments providing engineering personnel, but
not general supervision, are classified in Industry 7363. Establishments primarily engaged in providing
architectural engineering services are classified in Industry 8712, and those providing photogrammetric
engineering services are classified in Industry 8713.

and daily business controlled by one or more such individuals. This term also means a small business
concern that is at least 51 percent unconditionally owned by an economically disadvantaged Indian tribe
or Native Hawaiian Organization, or a publicly owned business that has at least 51 percent of its stock
