mail (return receipt requested), by 

personal delivery, or by other means 

which allows verification of the fact and 

date of receipt. EPA, however, has 

determined that in the present 

circumstances the use of a Federal 

Register notice is the only practical and 

efficient way to contact affected 

businesses and to furnish the notice of 

opportunity to submit comments. The 

Agency’s determination to follow this 

course was made in recognition of the 

large number of businesses included in 

the pertinent universe. Publication in 

the Federal Register also dispenses with 

the requirement of orally informing a 

responsible representative of the 

business that it should expect to receive 

a written notice, and requesting the 

business to contact the EPA office if the 

written notice has not been received 

within a few days, so that EPA may 

furnish a duplicate notice. 40 CFR 

2.204(e)(3). 

4. Submission of Your Response in the 

English Language 

All responses to this notice must be 

in the English language. 

5. The Effect of Failure To Respond to 

This Notice 

In accordance with 40 CFR 2.204(e)(1) 

and 2.205(d)(1), EPA will construe your 

failure to furnish timely comments in 

response to this notice as a waiver of 

your business’s claim(s) of 

confidentiality for any information in 

the documents identified in this notice. 

6. What To Include in Your Comments 

If you believe that some or all of the 

information contained in the types of 

documents which are described in this 

notice and which are currently, or may 

become, subject to FOIA requests, is 

entitled to confidential treatment, please 

specify which portions of the 

information you consider confidential. 

Information not specifically identified 

as subject to a confidentiality claim will 

be disclosed to the requestor without 

further notice to you. 

For each item or class of information 

that you identify as being subject to 

your claim, please answer the following 

questions, giving as much detail as 

possible: 

1. For what period of time do you 

request that the information be 

maintained as confidential, e.g., until a 

certain date, until the occurrence of a 

specified event, or permanently? If the 

occurrence of a specific event will 

eliminate the need for confidentiality, 

please specify that event. 

2. Information submitted to EPA 

becomes stale over time. Why should 

the information you claim as 

confidential be protected for the time 

period specified in your answer to 

question no. 1? 

3. What measures have you taken to 

protect the information claimed as 

confidential? Have you disclosed the 

information to anyone other than a 

governmental body or someone who is 

bound by an agreement not to disclose 

the information further? If so, why 

should the information still be 

considered confidential? 

4. Is the information contained in any 

publicly available material such as the 

Internet, publicly available data bases, 

promotional publications, annual 

reports, or articles? Is there any means 

by which a member of the public could 

obtain access to the information? Is the 

information of a kind that you would 

customarily not release to the public? 

5. Has any governmental body made 

a determination as to the confidentiality 

of the information? If so, please attach 

a copy of the determination. 

6. For each category of information 

claimed as confidential, explain with 

specificity why release of the 

information is likely to cause substantial 

harm to your competitive position. 

Explain the specific nature of those 

harmful effects, why they should be 

viewed as substantial, and the causal 

relationship between disclosure and 

such harmful effects. How could your 

competitors make use of this 

information to your detriment? 

7. Do you assert that the information 

is submitted on a voluntary or a 

mandatory basis? Please explain the 

reason for your assertion. If the business 

asserts that the information is 

voluntarily submitted information, 

whether and why disclosure of the 

information would tend to lessen the 

availability to EPA of similar 

information in the future. 

8. Any other issue you deem relevant. 

Please note that you bear the burden 

of substantiating your confidentiality 

claim. Conclusory allegations will be 

given little or no weight in the 

determination. If you wish to claim any 

of the information in your response as 

confidential, you must mark the 

response ‘‘CONFIDENTIAL’’ or with a 

similar designation, and must bracket 

all text so claimed. Information so 

designated will be disclosed by EPA 

only to the extent allowed by, and by 

means of, the procedures set forth in, 40 

CFR part 2, subpart B. If you fail to 

claim the information as confidential 

upon submission, it may be made 

available to the public without further 

notice to you. 

III. What Should I Consider as I 

Prepare My Comments for EPA? 

1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this 

information to EPA through 

www.regulations.gov or e-mail. Please 

submit this information by mail to the 

address identified in the ADDRESSES

section of today’s notice. Clearly mark 

the part or all of the information that 

you claim to be CBI. For CBI 

information in a disk or CD ROM that 

you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the 

disk or CD ROM as CBI and then 

identify electronically within the disk or 

CD ROM the specific information that is 

claimed as CBI. Information so marked 

will not be disclosed except in 

accordance with procedures set forth in 

40 CFR part 2, subpart B. In addition to 

one complete version of the comment 

that includes information claimed as 

CBI, a copy of the comment that does 

not contain the information claimed as 

CBI must be submitted for inclusion in 

the public docket. 

2. Tips for Preparing Your Comments. 

When submitting comments, remember 

to: 

• Identify the notice by docket 

number and other identifying 

information (subject heading, Federal 

Register date and page number). 

• Explain why you agree or disagree; 

suggest alternatives and substitute 

language for your requested changes. 

• Describe any assumptions and 

provide any technical information and/ 

or data that you used. 

• Provide specific examples to 

illustrate your concerns, and suggest 

alternatives. 

• Explain your views as clearly as 

possible, avoiding the use of profanity 

or personal threats. 

• Make sure to submit your 

comments by the comment period 

deadline identified.
