Mr. John Kary 

Chevrolet Motor Company 

Bumper Division 

13000 Eckles Road 

Livonia, Michigan 48151 

Dear Mr. Kary: 

Enclosed is a draft of the trip report covering a visit by 

Mr. Al Vervaert of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and 

Ms. Barb Duletsky of Midwest Research Institute (MRI) to the Chevrolet 

Motor Company plant 1n Livonia, Michigan, on March 15, 1985. We would 

appreciate your reviewing the report for any errors or omissions. You may 

return the enclosed copy of the report with your written comments 1f you 

wish. A copy of the final version of the report will be sent to you for 

your records. Since this report will eventually become a part of the 

public record, we want to portray your operation as accurately as 

possible. 

If you believe that disclosure of any specific information contained 

in the trip report would reveal trade secrets or other confidential 

information, you should clearly identify the specific information. If the 

EPA determines that there is a need to disclose such information, we will 

need, at that time, the following to support your claim: 

1. Measures taken by Chevrolet Motor Company to guard against 

undesired disclosure of the specific information to others; 

2. The extent to which the specific information has been disclosed 

to others and the precautions taken in connection therewith; 

3. Pertinent confidentiality determinations, if any, by other 

Federal agencies (furnish a copy of any such determination, or reference 

to it, if available); and 

4. Whether Chevrolet Motor Company asserts that disclosure of the 

specific information would be likely to result in substantial harmful 

effects on its 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. 

Any specific information subsequently determined to constitute a 

trade secret will be protected under 18 U.S.C. 1905. However, all 

emission data will be available to the public. 

We respectfully request that you submit your review comments on the 

trip report by June 14, 1985. If you concur with the information 

contained 1n the report, we would appreciate a letter to that effect. If 

we do not hear from you by June 14, 1985, EPA will consider the report 

nonconfidential, complete, correct, and final. 

Thank you for your cooperation. The information supplied by you and 

plant personnel will be most helpful in our study. If you have any 

questions or wish to give comments by phone, please call me at 

(919) 541-5601 or Ms. Duletsky of MRI at (919) 781-5750. 

Sincerely,
