Part III. CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS INFORMATION SUBSTANTIATION
A person may assert a claim of confidentiality for the specific chemical identity of a chemical substance as described in § 711.15(b)(3) of this part

chemical substance. Generic chemical identities and accession numbers may not be claimed as confidential. To assert a claim of confidentiality for
the identity of a reportable chemical substance, you must submit with the report detailed written answers to the questions from subsection (b) and to
the following questions.
Yes
No
CBI
Substantiation Questions applicable to Chemical Identity
1. Is this chemical substance publicly known (including by your competitors) to be in U.S. commerce? If yes,
please explain why the specific chemical identity should still be afforded confidential status (e.g., the chemical is
publicly known only as being distributed in commerce for research and development purposes). If no, please
complete the certification statement: I certify that on the date referenced, I searched the internet for the chemical
substance identity (i.e., by both chemical substance name and CASRN). I did not find a reference to this chemical
substance which would indicate the chemical is being manufactured or imported by anyone for a commercial
purpose in the United States.
Explanation:
Date:
2. Does this particular chemical substance leave the site of manufacture (including import) in any form, e.g., as a
product, effluent, emission? If yes, please explain what measures have been taken to guard against the
discovery of its identity.
Explanation:
3. If the chemical substance leaves the site in a form that is available to the public or your competitors, can the
chemical identity be readily discovered by analysis of the substance (e.g., product, effluent, emission), in light of
existing technologies and any costs, difficulties, or limitations associated with such technologies? Please
explain why or why not.
Explanation:
4. Would disclosure of the specific chemical name release confidential process information? If yes, please
explain.
Explanation:

Substantiation Questions applicable to all Confidential Business Information
1. Will disclosure of the information claimed as confidential likely cause substantial harm to your business’s
competitive position? If you answered yes, describe the substantial harmful effects that would likely result to
your competitive position if the information is disclosed, including how a competitor could use such information
and the causal relationship between the disclosure and the harmful effects.
Explanation:
2. To the extent your business has disclosed the information to others (both internally and externally), has your
business taken precautions to protect the confidentiality of the disclosed information? If yes, please explain and
identify the specific measures or internal controls your business has taken to protect the information claimed as
confidential.
Explanation:
3.A. Is any of the information claimed as confidential required to be publicly disclosed under any other Federal
law? If yes, please explain.
Explanation:
3.B. Does any of the information claimed as confidential otherwise appear in any public documents, including
(but not limited to) safety data sheets, advertising or promotional material, professional or trade publications,
state, local, or Federal agency files, or any other media or publications available to the general public? If yes,

Paperwork Reduction Act Notice
The annual public burden for this collection of information, which is approved under OMB Control Number 2070-0162, varies depending on the
submitter's experience with CDR reporting, and is estimated to average 131.12 hours per year for the average multi-chemical submission of 7.5
chemicals per site with 22% of reports consisting of partial reports and 15% of sites as new reporters. A full report includes manufacturing,
processing, and use information. A partial report includes manufacturing information and does not include processing and use information. This
estimate includes time spent on rule familiarization (for new reporters), compliance determination, form completion, and recordkeeping. This estimate
also includes combined effects of increases to certain reporting activities (incremental rule familiarization and compliance determination, data
elements on Form U) as well as the elimination of reporting for newly exempted chemical reports and/or sites from the CDR Revisions Final
Rule. Burden is defined in 5 CFR 1320.3(b). In addition, for Central Data Exchange (CDX) activities the average per-response burden is estimated at
0.53 hours per registration for those respondents not already registered in CDX. Burden is defined in 5 CFR 1320.3(b). According to the Paperwork
Reduction Act, "burden" means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide
information to or for a Federal agency. For this collection it includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize
technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information; processing and maintaining information; and disclosing or
providing information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements; train personnel to be able to
respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the
information. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB number. The OMB control number for this collection appears above. In addition, the OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations,
after initial display in the final rule, are listed in 40 CFR part 9. Exp. Exp 4/30/2022.
Send comments on the Agency's need for this information, the accuracy of the provided burden estimates, and any suggested methods for
minimizing respondent burden (including the use of automated collection techniques) to: Director, Collection Strategies Division, U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (Mail Code 2822), 1200 Pennsylvania Ave, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20460. Include the OMB control number in any
correspondence, but do not submit the completed form to this address. The requested information should be submitted in accordance with the
instructions accompanying the form, or as specified in the corresponding regulation.
