you aware of that may help DOE prepare 

the award formula? 

This is solely a request for

Proprietary Information 

Because information received in 

response to this RFI may be used to 

structure future programs and formula 

grant allocations and/or otherwise be 

made available to the public, 

respondents are strongly advised NOT 

to include any information in their 

responses that might be considered 

business sensitive, proprietary, or 

otherwise confidential. If, however, a 

respondent chooses to submit business 

sensitive, proprietary, or otherwise 

confidential information, it must be 

clearly and conspicuously marked as 

such in the response. Responses 

containing confidential, proprietary, or 

privileged information must be 

conspicuously marked as described 

below. Failure to comply with these 

marking requirements may result in the 

disclosure of the unmarked information 

under the Freedom of Information Act 

or otherwise. The U.S. Federal 

Government is not liable for the 

disclosure or use of unmarked 

information and may use or disclose 

such information for any purpose. 

Confidential, Commercial, and 

Financial Information. Consistent with 

10 CFR 1004.11, DOE requires that any 

person submitting information that he 

or she believes to be confidential and 

exempt by law from public disclosure 

should submit via email two wellmarked copies: One copy of the 

document marked ‘‘Confidential 

Commercial and Financial Information’’ 

including all the information believed to 

be confidential, and one copy of the 

document marked ‘‘non-confidential’’ 

with the information believed to be 

confidential deleted. DOE will make its 

own determination about the 

confidential status of the information 

and treat it according to its 

determination. The copy containing 

confidential commercial and financial 

information must include a cover sheet 

marked as follows identifying the 

specific pages containing confidential, 

proprietary, or privileged information: 

‘‘Notice of Restriction on Disclosure and 

Use of Data: Pages [list applicable pages] 

of this response may contain 

confidential, commercial, or financial 

information that is exempt from public 

disclosure.’’ The Government may use 

or disclose any information that is not 

appropriately marked or otherwise 

restricted, regardless of source. In 

addition, (1) the header and footer of 

every page that contains confidential, 

proprietary, or privileged information 

must be marked as follows: ‘‘Contains 

Confidential, Commercial, or Financial 

Information Exempt from Public 

Disclosure’’ and (2) every line and 

paragraph containing proprietary, 

privileged, or trade secret information 

must be clearly marked with [[double 

brackets]] or highlighting.
