Executive Vice President

Dear Mr. Walker:

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

Duletsky and Mr. Charles Hester of Midwest Research Institute to the 

Carolina Plating plant in Greenville, South Carolina, on March 7, 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 

if 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 Carolina Plating 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 Carolina Plating 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. 

/ 
P.3 

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 May 10, 1985. If you concur with the information 

contained in the report, we would appreciate a letter to that effect. 

If we do not hear from you by May 10, 1985, EPA will consider the report 

nonconfidential, complete, correct, and final. 

Thank you for your cooperation. The information supplied by Carolina 

Plating 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,
