Dear Mr. Smith: 

Per your request, I am sending you a copy ofthe Section 114 transmittal letter and 

screening request information form included in a "screening survey" of hazardous air pollutant 

emissions for the reinforced plastic composites industry that the USEPA conducted in July of 

1993. Our records show that the EPA sent a Section 114 information collection request letter 

to Mr. John Tickle at your Bristol facility, but that a survey response was never received from 

that facility. 

Please review your records to determine whether or not you received this screening 

survey request and notify me at (919) 941-0333 or Madeleine Strum (EPA) at (919) 541-2383 

about your finding. 

Sincerely, 

PACIFIC ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES, INC.

\ PRO^ 

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is conducting 

a "screening survey" of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions 

from a category of sources which we refer to as manufacturers of 

"reinforced plastic composites." Information from this survey 

will be used in developing national emission standards for 

azardous air pollutants pursuant to Section 112 of the Clean Air 

Act (CAA) , as amended in 1990. The CAA requires that the EPA 

establish emission standards for all major sources of HAP's, 

using "available data," to determine maximum achievable control 

technology. You can appreciate the importance of assuring the 

EPA has the very best information possible to implement this 

legislation. For that reason, this letter" invokes the authority 

of Section 114 of the CAA to secure the needed information. 

This letter requests information on those operations at your 

facility that are associated with the manufacture of reinforced 

plastic composites. Specifically, we wish information on 

different manufacturing steps including but not limited to gel 

coating, hand lay-up, spray-up, pultrusion, filament winding, 

resin transfer molding, cultured marble casting, vacuum/pressure 

bag molding, and compression molding. The screening survey is 

designed to provide information on the variability of process 

characteristics and products within the category of sources that 

manufacture reinforced plastic composites. Its results will be 

used to design a second survey that will be sent to a number of 

facilities in this source category. 

Enclosure 1 itemizes the information requested. Three 

copies of the survey are enclosed. The first one is provided for 

your response (you may need to reproduce it for sufficient copies 

to complete your response) . The other two provide guidance on 

possible types of responses. These examples are illustrative; 

they do not describe any known facility. 

2. 
P.4 

The EPA's authority to gather information is provided by 

Section 114 of the CAA, as amended (42 U.S.C. 7414). If you 

believe that disclosure of any specific information that you 

submit would reveal a trade secret, you should clearly identify 

such information "confidential" as discussed in the enclosure. 

Do not label an entire response "confidential" if only certain 

portions contain trade secret information. Refer to Enclosure 2 

for the information that the EPA may later require to support 

your claim of confidentiality. Any information subsequently 

determined to constitute a trade secret will be protected under 

18 U.S.C. 1905. If no claim of confidentiality accompanies the 

information when it is received by the EPA", it may be made 

available to the public without further notice 

(40 CFR Part 2.203, September 1, 1976). Because Section 114(c) 

of the CAA exempts emission data from claims of confidentiality, 

any emission data you provide may be made public. A 

clarification of what the EPA considers to be emission data is 

contained in Enclosure 3. 

The EPA contracted Pacific Environmental Services, Inc. 

(PES) under Contract No. 68D10116 to obtain information on your 

industry. Thus, as noted in Enclosure 4, PES has been designated 

an "authorized representative" of the Agency. Therefore, PES has 

the rights discussed above and in Enclosure 2. Accordingly, PES 

will have access to all information provided to the EPA in 

response to this request. As an authorized representative of the 

Agency, PES is subject to the provisions of 42 U.S.C. 7414(c) 

respecting confidentiality of methods or processes entitled to 

protection as trade secrets. 

Enclosure 5 summarizes the EPA's and its Emission Standards 

Division's policies and procedures for handling privileged 

information and describes the commitments and procedures of the 

authorized representative for use of confidential materials. It 

is the EPA's policy that compliance by an authorized 

representative with the requirements in Enclosure 5 provides 

sufficient protection for the rights of submitters of privileged 

information. 

We request that you return the completed information request 

within 3 0 days of the date stamped on this letter. Your help in 

providing this information is greatly appreciated. If you have 

any questions regarding the information requested or the time 
P.5 

frame for submitting the information, please contact 

Ms. Madeleine Strum, Chemicals and Petroleum Branch, at 

(919) 541-2383.

Enclosure 2 

EPA's Information Gathering Authority 

Under Section 114 of the Clean A1r 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 Information 

needed '(a) for the purpose (1) of developing or assisting m the development 

of any iBiplementatlon plan under Section 110 or 111(d), uty stwaard of 

performance under Section 111, or any emission standard unoer Section 112 

(11) of determining wnetner any person 1s in violation of any sucn stanaaro or 

any requirement of sucn a plan, or (111) carrying out any provision of this 

Act.' Among 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 standards. In addition, the EPA Office of General Counsel has 

interpreted Section 114 to include authority to photograph or require 

submission of photograpns of pertinent equipment, emissions, or both. 

Under Section 114, EPA 1s empowered to obtain information described by 

that section even if you consider it to be confidential, YOU may, however, 

request that EPA treat sucn infonnation as confidential. Information odtainea 

under Section 114 ano 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.* Procedures to be used for making confidentiality 

determinations, substantive criteria to be used 1n such determinations, and 

special rules governing information obtained under Section 114 are set fortn 

1n 40 CFR Part 2 published 1n the Federal Register on September 1, 1976 

(40 FR 36902). 

•Section 114 requires public availability of all emission data and authorizes 

disclosure of confidential Information 1n certain circumstances, aee 

40 FR 35S02 - 36912 (September 1, 1976). 

1^ 
P.14

Section 114(c) of tne Clean Air Act as amended reads as follows: 

"Any records, reports, or information ootained under suosection (a) 

snail be available to the public, except tnat upon a snowing satisfactory 

to tne Administrator by any person that records, reports, or information, 

or particular part thereof, (other than emission data) to wnicn tne 

Administrator nas access under this section if mace public, would 

divulge metnoos or processes entitled to protection as trace secrets 

of sucn person, tne Administrator snail consider such record, 

report, or information or particular portion thereof confidential 

in accordance with the purposes of Section 1905 of Title 18 of tne 

United States Code,' except that such record, report, or information 

may be disclosed to otner officers, employees, or authorized 

representatives of the United States concerned with carrying out 

this Act or wnen relevant in any proceeding under this Act." 

The treataent of CBI by the U.S. EPA, including data ootained unoer 

Section 114 of the Clean A1r Act, is governed by Title 40, Part 2, of the Code 

of Federal Regulations. These regulations require EPA offices to include a 

notice with each request for information to inform the ousiness of: (1) its right 

to assert a claim of confidentiality covering part or all of the information, 

(2) tne method for asserting a claim, and (3) the effect of failure to assert a 

claim at time of submission. In addition, the regulations: (1) set forth procedures for the safeguarding of confidential information; (2) contain provisions 

for providing confidential information to authorized representatives; (3) contain 

provisions for the release of information to tne Congress, Comptroller General, 

otner Federal agencies, State and local governments, ano Courts; (4) permit tne 

disclosure of infonnation within EPA to employees witn an official need for tne 

information; and (5) prohibit wrongful use of such information and cite penalties 

for wrongful disclosure. Further, the regulations contain tne Agency's basic 

rule concerning the treataent of requests for information unoer the Freedom of 

Information /let (S U.S.C. 552). 

6. Procedures: 

a. Requests for Information 

Each request originating in the ESD for information made under tne provisions 

of Section 114(a) is signed by the Division Director. The request Includes KD's 

standard enclosure "EPA's lnforaation Gathering Authority Under Section 114 of 

the Clean Air Act," which was designed to meet the requirement of 40 CFR Part 2 

discussed above.

D. Heceiot of Confidential Business Information 

Upon receipt of information for wnicn confidential treataent has oeen 

requested, the Office of tne 01 rector (OD) directs the logging of the material 

and the establishment of a permanent file. If confidential treataent is requested, 

but is not specifically marked, the material will be stamped "Subject to 

Confidentiality Claim." If part of the material is claimed to oe confidential, 

mat portion is marked "Subject to Confidentiality Claim." In comoliance witn 

Sections 2.204 and 2.208 of 40 CFR Part 2, tne Brancn Chief resoonsible for tne 

requested infonnation reviews the information to determine whether it is likely 

to be confidential in contrast to being available in the open literature, 

whether it is emission data, and whether it 1Ikely provides its holder with a 

competitive advantage. If.tlie information is clearly not confidential, the 

Brancn Chief prepares abetter for signature of the Olvision Olrector, ESQ, to 

notify the business of this finding. If the infonnation is possibly confidential, 

the Branch Chief senos a memorandum to inform the OD, ESD, of this finding, gives 

a brief description of the material (what it is, how many pages, etc.), identifies 

it with the correct ESD project numoer, and lists those persons wno are authorized 

to nave access to the information. The information and memorandum are hand 

carried to the 00 and placed in the CBI files with the material. A record of who 

will see the information (Attachment A) is also filed with the folder containing 

the information. If CBI is received from the owner via an authorized representative 

or a third party, the same procedure is foi lotted, with the addition of clearly 

identifying the information and its source. By regulation. Information for which 

confidential treataent is requested must be so marked or designated by the submitter. 

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) is freely releasable. 

c. Storage of Confidential Business Information 

Folders, documents, or material containing CBI (as defined) shall be secured, 

at a minimum, in a combination-locked cabinet. Normal ESD procedure is to secure 

this information 1n a cabinet equipped with a security bar and locked using a 

four-way, changeable combination padlock. In addition, the entrance door to the 

CBI storage room Is equipped with a changeable combination simplex lock. Tht 

locked files are under the control of the 00.

f. Handling of Other Information 

Reports, memoranda, documents, etc., prepared by EPA or its authorized 

representatives are not normally circulated outside EPA for comment or review 

prior to publication except in such cases as described above (6.d.3) wherein CSI 

is expressly included. However, because industrial-data-gathering visits, plant 

inspections, and source testing can involve inadvertent receipt of CBI, it is the 

policy of ESD to protect all parties involved in tne following manner. 

Prior to or at the inception of a plant inspection, data-gathering visit, or 

source test, EPA or its authorized representative discusses witn a responsible 

industry official the information sougnt, how it is to be used, and how it is to 

be protected. A copy of thts sunnary is usually provided to the industry official 

being consulted. 

Following an inspection, visit, or test, a trip report is prepared to include, 

as practicable, all information received by EPA or its authorized representative 

during the visit or test. The report may be prepared by either EPA or its authorized 

representative. The draft of that report 1s clearly identified, on an attached, 

colored cover sheet as "Confidential Pending Determination." A second copy of 

the draft trip report 1s forwarded by EPA to the responsible industry official 

for review. The responsible industry official is requested by cover letter to 

review the report, clearly mark any information considered to be confidential, 

and return the marked up-report to the responsible EP) employee within 2 weeks of 

receipt. The original draft is kept in the CBI "pending" file until the marked-up 

copy is returned by the business firm. 

When the reviewed copy of the report, as marked by the responsible plant 

official, is received by EPA, information designated confidential is placed in 

tne CBI files as described above. The original draft of the trip report is 

edited to delete the confidential information and to accommodate tecnnical changes, 

and the trip report is issued.
