IECEIVED such transfer or other disposition. FEB 21 2017 H. Confidential Business Information ENVIRONMENTAL HFAi`H DEPARTMENT The EPA regulations concerning confidentiality and treatment of business information are contained in 40 C.F.R. Part 2, Subpart B. Information may not be withheld from the Administrator or her authorized representative because it is viewed as confidential. However, when requested to do so, the Administrator is required to consider information to be confidential and to treat it accordingly, if disclosure would divulge methods or processes entitled to protection as trade secrets (33 U.S.C. §§ 1318(b) and 1321(m)(2)(1)), and 18 U.S.C. § 1905), except that effluent data(as defined in 40 CFR § 2.302(a)(2)) may not be considered by EPA as confidential.
