Inquiry To Learn Whether Businesses Assert Business
Confidentiality Claims
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice; request for comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) receives from time
to time Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests for documentation
received or issued by EPA or data contained in EPA database systems
pertaining to the export and import of Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act (RCRA) hazardous waste from/to the United States, the
export of cathode ray tubes (CRTs) from the United States, and the
export and import of RCRA universal waste from/to the United States.
These documents and data may identify or reference multiple parties,
and describe transactions involving the movement of specified materials
in which the parties propose to participate or have participated. The
purpose of this notice is to inform ``affected businesses'' about the
documents or data sought by these types of FOIA requests in order to
provide the businesses with the opportunity to assert claims that any
of the information sought that pertains to them is entitled to
treatment as confidential business information (CBI), and to send
comments to EPA supporting their claims for such treatment. Certain
businesses, however, do not meet the definition of ``affected
business,'' and are not covered by today's notice. They consist of any
business that actually submitted to EPA any document at issue pursuant
to applicable RCRA regulatory requirements and did not assert a CBI
claim as to information that pertains to that business in connection
with the document at the time of its submission; they have waived their
right to do so at a later time. Nevertheless, other businesses
identified or referenced in the documents that were submitted to EPA by
the submitting business may have a right to assert a CBI claim
concerning information that pertains to them and may do so in response
to this notice.
DATES: Comments must be received on or before March 1, 2010. The period
for submission of comments may be extended if, before the comments are
due, you make a request for an extension of the comment period and it
is approved by the EPA legal office. Except in extraordinary
circumstances, the EPA legal office will not approve such an extension
without the consent of any person whose request for release of the
information under the FOIA is pending.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-
OECA-2010-0024, by one of the following methods:
http://www.regulations.gov: Follow the online instructions
for submitting comments.
