Dear Mr. Guidebeck: 

IfjMXJI 

Al aw I Sigg, 

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

Duletsky of Midwest Research Institute (MRI) and me to the General 

Plating, Incorporated, plant in Detroit, 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 

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 General Plating, Incorporated, 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 General Plating, Incorporated, 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 20, 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 20, 1985, EPA will consider the report 

nonconfidential, complete, correct, and final. 

Thank you for your cooperation. The information supplied by General 

Plating, Incorporated, 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. Barb Duletsky of MRI at (919) 781-5750. 

Sincerely,
