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 special permit 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.
