CBI SUBMISSION

Substantiation - Applicable to Any Claim
(i) 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 but not limited to how a competitor could use such information, and the causal relationship between the
disclosure and the harmful effects.

CBI:

Yes
:No

✔

Test
(ii) Has your business taken precautions to protect the confidentiality of the disclosed information? If yes, please explain and identify
the specific measures, including but not limited to internal controls, that your business has taken to protect the information
claimed as confidential. If the same or similar information was previously reported to EPA as non-confidential (such as in an
earlier version of this submission), please explain the circumstances of that prior submission and reasons for believing the
information is nonetheless still confidential.

CBI:

Yes
:No

✔

Test
(ii) A. Is any of the information claimed as confidential required to be publicly disclosed under any other Federal law? If yes, please
explain

CBI:

Yes
:No

✔

Test
(iii) 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, please explain why the information should be treated
as confidential.

CBI:

Yes
:No

✔

Test
(iii) C. Does any of the information claimed as confidential appear in one or more patents or patent applications? If yes, provide the
associated patent number or patent application number (or numbers) and explain why the information should be
treated as confidential.

CBI:

Yes
:No

✔

Test
(iv) Is the claim of confidentiality intended to last less than 10 years (see TSCA section 14(e)(1)(B))? If yes, please indicate the
number of years (between 1-10 years) or the specific date after which the claim is withdrawn.

CBI:

Yes
:No

✔

Test
(v). Has EPA, another federal agency, or court made any confidentiality determination regarding information associated with
this chemical substance? If yes, please provide the circumstances associated with the prior determination, whether the
information was found to be entitled to confidential treatment, the entity that made the decision, and the date of the
determination.

CBI:

Yes
:No

✔

Test

Substantiation - Chemical Identity Claim
(i)

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 substance is publicly known only as
being distributed in commerce for research and development purposes, but no other information about the current commercial
distribution of the chemical substance in the United States is publicly available). If no, please complete the certification
statement:

CBI:

Yes
:No

✔

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 that would indicate that the chemical is being
manufactured or imported by anyone for a commercial purpose in the United States. [provide date].
Test
(ii) Does this specific 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.

CBI:

Yes
:No

✔

CBI SUBMISSION

(ii) 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.

CBI:

Yes
:No

✔

Test
(iv) Would disclosure of the specific chemical identity release confidential process information? If yes, please explain.

Yes
:No
