otherwise specifying the confidential information. Furthermore, EPA 
requests, but does not require, that the submitter also provide a second 
copy of its submittal from which all confidential information has been 
deleted. If a need arises to publicly release nonconfidential 
information, EPA will assume that the submitter has accurately deleted 
the confidential information from this second copy.

pursuant to this subpart is entitled to confidential treatment, the 
information covered by that confidentiality claim will be disclosed by 
the Administrator only to the extent and by means of the procedures set 
forth in part 2, subpart B of this chapter.
    (e) Information provided without a claim of confidentiality at the 
time of submission may be made available to the public by EPA without 
further notice to the submitter, in accordance with 
Sec. 2.204(c)(2)(i)(A) of this chapter.
