Sec. 750.36  Confidentiality.

    EPA encourages the submission of non-confidential information by 
petitioners and commentors. EPA does not wish to have unnecessary 
restrictions on access to the rulemaking record. However, if a 
petitioner or commentor believes that he can only state his position 
through the use of information claimed to be confidential, he may submit 
it. Such information must be separately submitted for the rulemaking 
record and marked ``confidential'' by the submitter. For the information 
claimed to be confidential, EPA will list only the date and the name and 
address of the petitioner or commentor in the public file, noting that 
the petitioner or commentor has requested confidential treatment. The 
information claimed to be confidential will be placed in a confidential 
file. A petitioner must also file a non-confidential petition with a 
non-confidential summary of the confidential information to be placed in 
the public file. Similarly, a commentor must supply a non-confidential 
summary of the information claimed to be confidential to be placed in 
the public file. Any information not marked as confidential will be 
placed in the public file. Information marked confidential will be 
treated in accordance with the procedures in part 2, subpart B of this 
title.
