    (a) Any information or material which the applicant or any other 
party desires to submit in confidence at any stage of the investigation 
that would

disclose national security classified information or business 
confidential information (trade secrets, commercial or financial 
information, or any other information considered senstitive or 
privileged), shall be submitted on separate sheets with the clear legend 
``National Security Classified'' or ``Business Confidential,'' as 
appropriate, marked at the top of each sheet. Any information or 
material submitted that is identified as national security classified 
must be accompanied at the time of filing by a statement indicating the 
degree of classification, the authority for the classification, and the 
identity of the classifying entity. By submitting information or 
material identified as business confidential, the applicant or other 
party represents that the information is exempted from public 
disclosure, either by the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552 et 
seq.) or by some other specific statutory exemption. Any request for 
business confidential treatment must be accompanied at the time of 
filing by a statement justifying non-disclosure and referring to the 
specific legal authority claimed.
    (b) The Department may refuse to accept as business confidential any 
information or material it considers not intended to be protected under 
the legal authority claimed by the applicant, or under other applicable 
legal authority. Any such information or material so refused shall be 
promptly returned to the submitter and will not be considered. However, 
such information or material may be resubmitted as non-confidential in 
which case it will be made part of the public record.
