Inquiry To Learn Whether Businesses Assert Business
Confidentiality Claims
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice; request for comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency 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 June 1, 2009. 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-2009-0288, by one of the following methods:
http://www.regulations.gov: Follow the on-line
instructions for submitting comments.
