Sec. 68.152  Substantiating claims of confidential business information.

    (a) An owner or operator claiming that information is confidential 
business information must substantiate that claim by providing 
documentation that demonstrates that the claim meets the substantive 
criteria set forth in 40 CFR 2.301.
    (b) Information that is submitted as part of the substantiation may 
be claimed confidential by marking it as confidential business 
information. Information not so marked will be treated as public and may 
be disclosed without notice to the submitter. If information that is 
submitted as part of the substantiation is claimed confidential, the 
owner or operator must provide a sanitized and unsanitized version of 
the substantiation.
    (c) The owner, operator, or senior official with management 
responsibility of the stationary source shall sign a certification that 
the signer has personally examined the information submitted and that 
based on inquiry of the persons who compiled the information, the 
information is true, accurate, and complete, and that those portions of 
the substantiation claimed as confidential business information would, 
if disclosed, reveal trade secrets or other confidential business 
information.
