Sec. 105.30  Information made available to the public and request for 

confidential treatment.



    When you submit information to PHMSA during a rulemaking proceeding, 

as part of your application for exemption or approval, or for any other 

reason, we may make that information publicly available unless you ask 

that we keep the information confidential.

    (a) Asking for confidential treatment. You may ask us to give 

confidential treatment to information you give to the agency by taking 

the following steps:

    (1) Mark ``confidential'' on each page of the original document you 

would like to keep confidential.

    (2) Send us, along with the original document, a second copy of the 

original document with the confidential information deleted.

    (3) Explain why the information you are submitting is confidential 

(for example, it is exempt from mandatory public disclosure under the 

Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. 552 or it is information referred 

to in 18 U.S.C. 1905).

    (b) PHMSA Decision. PHMSA will decide whether or not to treat your 

information as confidential. We will notify you, in writing, of a 

decision to grant or deny confidentiality at least five days before the 

information is publicly disclosed, and give you an opportunity to 

respond.
