General Claim: Submitter Information
Applicable Only to General CBI Claims
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 only if the identity of that
chemical substance is treated as confidential in the Master Inventory File as of the time the
report is submitted for that 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.
Question
G1) Please specifically explain what harm to the
competitive position of your business would be likely to
result from the release of the information claimed as
confidential. How would that harm be substantial? Why is
the substantial harm to your competitive position likely
(i.e., probable) to be caused by release of the information
rather than just possible? If you claimed multiple types of
information to be confidential (e.g. site information,
exposure information, environmental release information,
etc.), explain how disclosure of each type of information
would be likely to cause substantial harm to the
competitive position of your business.
