Dear Mr. Nicholl: 

Enclosed 1s a draft of the trip report covering a visit by Ms. Barb 

Duletsky of Midwest Research Institute (MRI) to the Modern Hard Chrome 

Service Company plant 1n Warren, Michigan, on March 14, 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 

United States Environmental Protection Agency (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 Modern Hard Chrome Service Company to guard 

against undeslred disclosure of the specific information to others; 

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

to others and the precautions taken 1n connection therewith; 

3. Pertinent confidentiality determinations, if any, by other 

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

to 1t, if available); and 

4. Whether Modern Hard Chrome Service 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. 

/• 
y 

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 will 

be most helpful 1n 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,
