EPA's Information Gathering Authority
Under Section 114 of the Clean Air Act

Under Section 114 of the Act (42 U.S.C. 7414), Congress has given the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency broad authority to secure informa tion needed "for the purpose of (i) developing or assisting in the development of any implementation plan under Section 110 or 111(d), any standard of performance under Section 111, or any emission standa rd under Section 112, (ii) determining whether any person is in violation of any such standard of any requirement of such a plan, or (iii) carrying out any provision of this Act." Amount other things, Section 114 authorizes EPA to make inspections, conduct tests, examine records, and require owners or operators of emission sources to submit information reasonably required for the purpose of developing such st andards. In addition, the EPA Office of General Counsel has interpreted Section 114 to include au thority to photograph or require submission of photographs of pertinent equipment, emissions, or both.

Under Section 114, EPA is empowered to obtain information described by that section even if you consider it to be confidential. You may, how ever, request that EPA treat such information as
confidential. Information obtained under Section 114 a nd covered by such a request will ordinarily be released to the public only if EPA determines that the information is not entitled to confidential

treatment. 1 Procedures to be used for making confidentia lity determinations, substantive criteria to be used in such determinations, and special rules governing information obtained under Section 114 are set forth in 40 CFR Part 2 published in the Federal Register on September 1, 1976 (40 FR 36902).

Pursuant to § 2.204(a) of EPA's Freedom of In formation Act (FOIA) regulation, in the event a request is received, or it is determined that a request is likely to be received, or EPA desires to determine whether business information in its possession is entitle d to confidential treatment even though no request for release of the information has been received, pl ease be advised that EPA will seek, at that time, the following information to support your claim as requi red by § 2.204(e)(4) of EPA's FOIA regulations:

1. Measures taken by your company to guard against undesired disclosure of the information to others;

2. The extent to which the information has been disclosed to others, and the precautions taken in connection therewith;

3. Pertinent confidentiality determinations, if any, by EPA or other Federal agencies, and a copy of any such determinations, or reference to it, if available; and

4. Whether your company asserts that disclosure of the information would be likely to result
in substantial harmful effects on the business' competitive position, and if so, what those harmful effects would be, why they should be viewed as substantial, and an explanation of the causal relationship between disclosure and such harmful effects.

1 Section 114 requires public availability of all emission data and author izes disclosure of confidential information in certain circumstances. See 40 FR 36902 - 36912 (September 1, 1976).Enclosure 3

Disclosure of Emission Data Claimed as Confidential Under Sections 110 and 114(c)

of the Clean Air Act

AGENCY: Environmental

Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of policy on public release of certain emission data submitted under
sections 110 and 114(c) of the Clean Air Act

SUMMARY: Section 114(c) of the CAA
excludes emission data from the general

definition of trade secret information.
Certain classes of data submitted to the EPA
under sections 110 and 114(a) of the CAA

are emission data, and, as such, cannot be
withheld from disclosure as confidential pursuant to section 1905 of title 18 of the
United States Code. This notice clarifies

EPA's current policy, and solicits comment regarding that policy and categories of data
which it considers excluded from a trade

secret definition.

DATES: Written comments pertaining to this
notice are requested by April 22, 1991. ADDRESSES: Submit comments to: Nancy

D. Riley, U.S. Environmental

Protection Agency, Emission Standards Division,

Pollutant Assessment Branch (MD- 13),

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The

EPA routinely uses the authority of sections
110 and 114(a) of the CAA to gather

technical information from industries

involved in operations that lead to emission
of pollutants to the ambient air. This information has been used, among other things, to better characterize

emitting
facilities and to evaluate the need for and impacts of potential regulation.

Information requests under sections 110
and 114(a) of the CAA typically include questions on uncontrolled

and controlled emission rates and emission parameters of
the pollutant or group of pollutants of

concern. The respondents

sometimes claim
that its response constitutes trade secret information, and thus, should be treated as confidential. Claims of confidentiality

may be made under section 114(c) of the CAA,
which states

upon a showing satisfactory to the Administrator

by any

person that records, reports, or information,

or a particular part thereof, (other than
emission data) to which the Administrator
has access under this section if made public,

would divulge methods or processes entitled

to protection as trade secrets of such person,
the Administrator

shall consider such confidential in accordance with the purposes of section 1905 of title 18 of the United
States Code *." If the Administrator

so determines, the information is not disclosable to the public. However, section 114(c) of the CAA provides that information claimed to be a trade secret but which constitutes emission
data may not be withheld as confidential. Although typically the EPA evaluates
whether information constitutes emission
data on a case-by-case

basis, it believes that

some kinds of data will always constitute emission data within the meaning of section 114(c). The purpose of this notice is to describe, without attempting to be comprehensive, that information which the

EPA generally considers to be emission data,

and which cannot qualify as confidential
under either section 114(c) or section 110 (as

set forth in 41 CFR 51.321, 51.322, and 51.323) of the CAA. The EPA is issuing this notice to clarify its policy and procedures, to facilitate the use of these data in automated
data systems and computer-based

simulation models, and to expedite processing of claims
for confidentiality

or requests for disclosure.
The EPA presently determines that data submitted to it as emission data does not qualify as confidential

if it meets the following definition under 40 CFR 2.301(a)(2)(i):

a. Definitions.

For the purpose of this section, (1) Act means the Clean Air Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq. (2)(i)

Emission data means, with reference to any

source of emission of any substance into the air- (A) Information necessary to determine the identity, amount, frequency, concentration, or other characteristics

(to the
extend related to air quality) of any emission which has been emitted by the source (or of

any pollutant resulting from any emission by
the source), or any combination

of the foregoing: (B) Information necessary to determine
the identity, amount, frequency, concentration, or other characteristics

(to the

extent related to air quality) of the emission which, under an applicable standard or limitation, the source was authorized to emit (including, to the extent necessary for such

purposes, a description of the manner or rate of operation of the source), or any combination of the foregoing. (C) A general description of the location and/or nature of the source to the extent
necessary to identify the source and to distinguish it from other sources (including,

to the extent necessary for such purposes, a description of the device, installation, or operation constituting

the source).

The table below lists the specific data fields which the EPA presently considers to constitute emission data and provides a brief description of what each data field describes.
The descriptions

are intended to provide general information.

This list is not exhaustive, and, therefore, other data might

be found, in a proper case, to constitute
emission data.

Emission Data Fields

Facility Identification:

The following data fields are needed to establish the identity and location of emission sources. This shall also include a description or an identifier of the device, installation, or operation constituting

the source. These data are used to locate

sources for dispersion evaluation and

exposure modeling.

Plant Name and related point identifiers

Emission point, device or operation description information

SCC (Source Classification

Emission Parameters: The following data
fields are needed to establish the
characteristics of the emissions. This
information is needed for the analyses of dispersion and potential control equipment.

Emission type (e.g., nature of emissions such as CO2), particulate or a specific toxic compound, and origin of emissions

such as process vents, storage tanks or equipment leaks)

Emission rate (eg., the amount released to the atmosphere over time such as kg/yr or lbs/yr)

Release height (e.g., height above ground level where the pollutant is emitted to the atmosphere) Description of terrain and surrounding

structures (e.g., the size of the area associated with adjacent structures in square meters and

terrain descriptions

such as mountainous, urban, or rural)

Stack or vent diameter at point of emissions (e.g., the inside diameter of vent at the point of emission to the atmosphere in meters)

Release velocity (e.g., velocity of release in m/sec)

Release temperature (e.g., temperature of release at point of

release in degrees Kelvin) Frequency of release (e.g., how often a release occurs in events

per year)

Duration of release (e.g., the time associated with a release to

the atmosphere)

Concentration (e.g., the amount of an emission stream
constituent relative to other stream
constituents expressed as parts per
million (ppm), volume percent, or weight percent) Density of the emissions stream or average

molecular weight (e.g., density expressed as fraction or multiple of the density of air: molecular weight in g/g-mole)

Boiler or process design capacity (e.g., the gross heating value of fuel input

to a boiler at its maximum design rate)

Emission estimation method (e.g., the method by which an emission
estimate has been calculated such as material balance, source test, use ofAP42 emission factors, etc.)

Percent space heat (e.g., the percent of fuel used for space heating) Hourly maximum design rate (e.g., the greatest operating rate that would
be expected for a source in a l-hour period)

The EPA has determined that these data

are emission data and releasable upon request. This determination

applies to data currently held by EPA as well as to information submitted to EPA in the future.

Future requests for information under
sections 110 and 114 of the CAA will
indicate that these emission data will not be

held confidential.

This determination

applies only to the data listed in the table.
Determinations will continue to be made on

a case-by-case

basis for data not specified in
this generic determination.

After consideration

of comments on this policy, a revised policy/determination

may
be published.

## Summary of Procedures for Safeguarding Clean Air Act
Confidential Business Information

1. Purpose

This memorandum describes U.S. Environm ental Protection Agency (EPA), Office of Air Quality Planning and Standard s (OAQPS) policy and procedures set forth for the handling of information claimed as Confidential Business Information (CBI), whether submitted voluntarily
or obtained under Section 114 of the Clean Air Act (CAA), and governed by EPA regulations in 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 2, Subpart B, and other EPA regulations and policies.

2. Reference Documents:

a. Clean Air Act, as amended. b. 40 CFR, Chapter 1, Part 2, Subpart B - Confidentiality of Business Information. c. EPA Information Security Manual.
d. Clean Air Act Confidential Business In formation Security Manual (January 2002).

3. Exception:

This document was prepared as a summary of data gathering a nd handling procedures used by the OAQPS of the EPA. Nothing in this document shall be construed as superseding or being in conflict with any applicable regulations , statutes, or policies to which EPA is subject.

4. Definition:

Confidential Business Information - Information claimed by the provider to be confidential. This information may be identifi ed with such titles as trade secret, secret, administrative secret, company secret, secret pr oprietary, privileged, admi nistrative confidential, company confidential, confidentia l proprietary, or proprietary. NOTE: These markings should
not be confused with the classi fication markings of national secu rity information identified in
Executive Order 11652.2

5. Background

Section 114 (c) of the CAA, as amended, reads as follows:

“Any records, reports, or information obtained un der subsection (a) shall be available to the public, except that upon a showing satisfactory to the Administrator by any person that records, reports, or information, or partic ular part thereof (other than emission data), to which the
Administrator has access under this section if made public, would divulge methods or processes entitled to protection as trade secrets of such person, the Admi nistrator shall consider such record, report, or information or particular portion thereof confidentia l in accordance with the purposes of Section 1905 of Title 18 of the United States Code, except that such record, report, or information may be disclosed to other officers, employees, or authorized representatives of the United States concerned with carrying out this Ac t or when relevant in any proceeding under this
Act.”

The treatment of CBI by EPA, including data obtained under Section 114 of the CAA, is governed by 40 CFR Part 2. These regulations requi re EPA offices to include a notice with each request for information to inform the business of: (1) its right to assert a claim of confidentiality covering part or all of the information, (2) the me thod for asserting a claim, and (3) the effect of
failure to assert a claim at time of submissi on. In addition, the regulations: (1) set forth procedures for the safeguarding of confidential information, (2) contain provisions for providing confidential information to authorize representati ves, (3) contain provisio ns for the release of information to the Congress, Comptroller Gene ral, other Federal agen cies, State and local governments, and Courts, (4) permit the disclosure of information within EPA to employees with an official need for the information, and (5) pr ohibit wrongful use of such information and cite penalties for wrongful disclosure. Further, th e regulations contain the Agency’s basic rule concerning the treatment of requests for info rmation under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552).

6. Procedures:

a. Request for Information.

Each request for information made under the provisions of Section 114(a) is signed by
the Division Director. The re quest includes standard enclosur e “EPA’s Information Gathering Authority under Section 114 of the Clean Air Act” which was designed to meet the requirement
of 40 CFR Part 2 discussed above.

b. Receipt of CAA CBI.

Upon receipt of information for which conf idential treatment has been requested, the OAQPS Document Control Officer (DCO) logs in the material and a permanent file is established. If part of the material is claimed to be confid ential, that portion should be marked “Subject to Confidentiality Cl aim.” In compliance with Se ctions 2.204 and 2.208 of 40 CFR

Part 2, the Group Leader responsible fo r the requested information reviews the information to determine the validity of the confid entiality claim as prescribed by the sections. If the information is clearly not c onfidential, the Group Leader prepar es a letter for the signature of3

the responsible Division Director to notify the business of this finding. Information claimed as
confidential is hand carried to the OAQPS CBI Office to be logged into the OAQPS CAA CBI tracking system and filed for safekeeping. The OAQPS CAA CBI tracking system provides a brief description of the material (submitter, subj ect, number of pages, etc.), identifies it with the correct project number or work assignment number , and lists those persons who are authorized to have access to the information. A record of pe rsonnel accessing the inform ation (Attachment A) is also kept on filed. By regula tion, confidential information must be so marked or designated by the originator. The EPA takes additional measures to ensure that the proprietary designation is uniformly indicated and immediately observable. All unmarked or undesignated information (except as noted below) may be authorized for public release.

c. Storage of CAA CBI.

Folders, documents, or material containi ng CAA CBI (as defined) shall be secured according to the instructions lis ted in the OAQPS Security Manual. In addition, the CBI storage area that has been identified sp ecifically for that purpose is equipped with a supplementary locking device. The storage area and files ar e under the direct control of the OAQPS DCO.

Access to the storage area is limited to th e DCO, Document Control Assistant, and the minimum number of persons required to effectively maintain normal business operations as directed by the Director, Pl anning, Resources, and Regional Management Staff (PRRMS).

Files may be issued upon confirmation that the requesting individua l is authorized to
receive the information. All conf idential files must be returned no later than close of business on the same day. The intended user must sign th e CBI Control Record when checking out files.

Individuals signing out confiden tial files are re sponsible for their safekeeping. Files must
never be left unattended. The information mu st not be disclosed to any non-authorized personnel.

Storage procedures for CAA CBI by an aut horized representative of EPA (see Section d. below) must be, at a minimum, as secure as those established for EPA offices within OAQPS.
Whenever CBI is removed from the EPA files to be transmitted to an aut horized representative, a
notation is made in the file’s control record and transfer log indicati ng what information was transmitted, the date, and the recipient. The author ized representative returns a signed receipt to
the DCO.

d. Access to CAA CBI.

Only authorized EPA employees may open or distribute CAA CBI.

Only employees who require, have a need to know, and are authorized access to CAA CBI in the performance of their official du ties are permitted to review documents and, upon receiving a confidential document, must sign and date the form show n in Attachment A to certify
their access to the document.

The Group Leader having primary res ponsibility for the CAA CBI provides a memorandum to the DCO designating those personne l authorized to access specific CBI. No4

person is automatically entitled to access based sole ly on grade, position, or security clearance. The names of persons granted access to CAA CBI are placed on the CAA CBI access list. The CAA CBI access list indicates the “specific” CBI each person is permitted to see. The access list is reviewed and updated periodically.

Companies under contract to perform work for the EPA may be designated authorized representatives of EPA. As au thorized representatives, contractors may be granted access to CAA CBI. The following condition s apply when it has been dete rmined that disclosure is

necessary:

(1) The contractor designated as a repres entative and its employees (a) may use such confidential information only for the purpose of carrying out the wo rk required, (b) must refrain from disclosing the information to anyone othe r than EPA without havi ng received from EPA prior written approval of each affected business or of an EPA legal office, and (c) must return to EPA all copies of the information (and any abst racts or excerpts there from) upon request or whenever the information is no longer re quired for the perfor mance of the work.

(2) The authorized contractor designated as a representative must obtain a written confidentiality agreement from each of its employees who will ha ve access to the information. A copy of each employee agreement (Attachment B) must be furnished to EPA before access is permitted.

(3) The contractor designa ted as an authorized representative must agree that the conditions in the contract concerning the use and disclosure of CAA CBI are included for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, both EP A and any affected business having a proprietary
interest in the information.

Information may be released to or accessed by EPA employ ees other than OAQPS employees only upon approval of the Director, PRRMS.

Requests for CAA CBI from other Federal agen cies, Congress, the Comptroller General, Courts, etc., are processed in accord ance with 40 CFR Part 2, Subpart B.

Requests under the FOIA are handled in accordance with 40 CFR Part 2, Subpart A. The
FOIA Coordinator must be cons ulted prior to responding to any request for information if a claim of confidentiality has been asserted or if there is reason to believe that a claim might be
made if the business kne w release was intended.

e. Use and Disclosure of CAA CBI.

The CAA CBI, as defined, may not be us ed in publications, supporting documentation, memoranda, etc., that become a part of the public domain, except as provided for in 40 CFR Part 2, Subpart B. The CAA CBI may not be summari zed without the approval of the Group Leader responsible for the CAA CBI. Any authorized re productions must be logg ed into the CAA CBI document tracking system and treated according to the same procedures applicable to the original confidential material. Documents, mate rials, or extracts of information generated by
EPA which contain CAA CBI must be stamped “Subject to Confid entiality Claim” and a cover sheet must be attached to identify the material as CBI.5

f. Handling of Other Information.

Reports, memoranda, documents, etc., prepared by EPA or its authorized representatives are not normally circulated outside EPA for co mment or review prior to publication except in
such cases as described in section 6 above. Ho wever, because industrial-data-gathering visits, plant inspections, and source testing can involve inadvertent receipt of CAA CBI, it is the policy of OAQPS to protect all parties involved in the following manner:

(1) Prior to or at the inception of a plant inspection, data-gathering vi sit, or source test, EPA or its authorized represen tative discusses with a res ponsible industry official the information sought, how it is to be used, and how it is to be protected. A copy of this summary is usually provided to the indus try official being consulted.

(2) Following an inspection, visit, or test , a trip report is prep ared to include, as practicable, all information received by EPA or its authorized representati ve during the visit or test. The report may be prepared by either EPA or its authorized representative. The draft report is clearly identified with an att ached yellow cover sheet. A second c opy of the draft trip report is forwarded by EPA to the responsible industry o fficial for review. The responsible industry official is requested by cover lette r to review the report, clearly mark any information considered to be confidential, and return the edited copy to the responsible EPA employee within the time specified. The original draft is kept in the CBI file until the edited copy is returned by the
business firm.

(3) When the reviewed copy is returned to EPA, informa tion designated confidential is placed in the CBI files as described above. The origin al draft of the trip repor t is edited to delete the confidential information and the trip report is authorized for release.

Site-Specific Test Plan Development Guidance

This information collection request (ICR) provides specific additional instructions for each prescribed test method to ensure that the collected data will meet the objectives of the ICR. To
ensure that all data submitted in fulfillment of this ICR are of sufficient and known quality, EPA believes it is highly advisable for each facility (subject to emissions te sting under the ICR) to prepare a site-specific test plan prior to testing. A s ite-specific test plan addresses the planning and quality assurance and quality control procedures and acceptance criteria for all of the testing, including the collect ion of process and fuel data.

You may find guidance for developing such a site-specific test plan at http://www.epa.gov/ttn/emc/guidlnd/gd-042.pdf . Such a test plan would provide a means for you to verify that the quality assu rance protocols, contained in the various test methods, are met. You need not submit the test plan to EPA; however, much of the information in a complete sitespecific test plan consists of data that are used for required fields in Version 3 of the EPA Electronic Reporting Tool (ERT) (see Enclosure 8).
