Sec. 3405.21  Confidential aspects of proposals and awards.

    When a proposal results in a grant, it becomes a part of the record 
of the Agency's transactions, available to the public upon specific 
request. Information that the Secretary determines to be of a privileged 
nature will be held in confidence to the extent permitted by law. 
Therefore, any information that the applicant wishes to have considered 
as privileged should be clearly marked as such and sent in a separate 
statement, two copies of which should accompany the proposal. The 
original copy of a proposal that does not result in a grant will be 
retained by the Agency for a period of one year. Other copies will be 
destroyed. Such a proposal will be released only with the consent of the 
applicant or to the extent required by law. A proposal may be withdrawn 
at any time prior to the final action thereon.
