I. What is Vendor FACTS?
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is developing Version 3.0 of an
automated database called the Vendor Field Analytical and Characterization Technologies
System (Vendor FACTS) for use by professionals responsible for the cleanup of hazardous
waste sites. Vendor FACTS contains information on field portable measurement and
monitoring technologies. The system is updated annually. Version 2.0 was released in
December 1996; Version 3.0 is scheduled for release in October 1997.
II. What Technologies are Eligible for Inclusion?
By this Vendor Information Form, EPA is inviting technology developers and vendors to
submit information on specific categories of technologies for participation in the third
version (Version 3.0) of. Vendor FACTS. EPA has chosen these categories because it
believes they are undergoing the greatest innovation at the present time, and they represent
the greatest potential for streamlining the site assessment process. Technologies meeting the
following criteria will be included in Vendor FACTS:
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 on the following page.
The following 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; radioactivity
sensors, fixed-based (off-site) analytical equipment; remote sensors operated from aircraft
or satellite platforms (e.g., multispectral scanners); and technologies that have minor
improvement over established technologies. If you would like EPA to make a determination
as to whether your technology or software fits the inclusion criteria, call the Vendor FACTS
helpline at 1-800-245-4505.
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 VI.

III. Why Should You Participate?
Vendor FACTS 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 as well as on computer diskette. We anticipate reaching
cleanup personnel and investors throughout the U.S. and abroad by widely advertising
Vendor FACTS in trade journals, at conferences, and through direct mailings to an extensive
list of potential users.
IV. Should Confidential Business Information Be Submitted?
Confidential business information (CBI) should not be submitted, because EPA plans to
make all submitted information available to the public. However, applicants may write
11
-------
"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.
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. How Much Documentation is Required Regarding Performance and Other Technology
Claims?
Vendor FACTS is a service provided by EPA to showcase vendor's innovative technologies
and capabilities. Therefore, 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 you 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. Vendor FACTS 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 Vendor Field Analytical and
Characterization Technologies System (Vendor FACTS) 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.
VI. When and Where to File
EPA will review Vendor Information Forms received by July 30, 1997, for inclusion in
version 3.0 of Vendor FACTS in 1997. EPA will review responses received after July 30,
only as time and resources permit.

Section VI above.
EPA's Authority for Submittal and Burden Statement
EPA's authority for conducting this First 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 innovative
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. This estimate includes the time
applicants will require to review and maintain the data needed, and to complete and review
the VIF. Send comments regarding this burden estimate, or any other aspect of reducing the
burden, to Chief, Information Policy Branch, PM-223, U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency, 401M Street, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20460; and to Paperwork Reduction Project
