Corp., and Navistar, Inc., Case No. 15-cv-6143, pending in the United

vehicle and engine manufacturers that is claimed to be, or has been 
determined to be, potential confidential business information 
(collectively ``CBI''). The use of the CBI is limited to the Navistar 
Litigation and its distribution is restricted by terms of a Court 
confidentiality order.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The United States has initiated a civil 
enforcement action alleging that Navistar International Corp. and 
Navistar, Inc., violated Title II of the Clean Air Act in connection 
with the production and sale of on-highway heavy-duty diesel engines in 
calendar years 2009 and 2010. This notice is being provided, pursuant 
to 40 CFR 2.209(d), to inform affected businesses that EPA intends to 
transmit certain information, which has been submitted by vehicle and 
engine manufacturers that is claimed to be, or has been determined to 
be, potential confidential business information (collectively ``CBI''), 
to defendants in this enforcement action. The information includes EPA 
communications with, and information provided by, vehicle and engine 
manufacturers in connection with the certification of heavy-duty diesel 
motor vehicle engines or non-road engines, some of which may include 
CBI.

Confidentiality Order, see Case No. 15-cv-6143, ECF Document No. 35 in 
the Navistar Litigation docket, filed December 15, 2015, (the 
``Confidentiality Order''), that governs the treatment of information, 
including CBI, that is designated ``Confidential'' pursuant to the 
Confidentiality Order. The Confidentiality Order provides for limited 
disclosure and use of CBI and for the return or destruction of CBI at 
the conclusion of the litigation. In accordance with 40 CFR 2.209(c)-
(d), DOJ must disclose such information to the extent required to 
comply with the discovery obligations of the United States in the 
Navistar Litigation, including its obligations under the 
Confidentiality Order.
