EPA regulations governing the confidentiality of business information are set forth in 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)Part 2, Subpart B. EPA routinely provides copies of investigation reports to state agencies, and upon request, to the public. Such releases are handled according to the Freedom of Information Act regulations (40 CFR Part 2). If NuStar believes the enclosed inspection report contains information entitled to treatment as confidential business information, please assert a confidentiality claim in accordance with 40 CFR § 2.203(b)within fourteen (14) calendar days from the date of receipt of this letter. Business confidentiality includes the concept of trade secrecy and other related concepts. Your claim must specifically identify the information covered by the claim and should be sent to EPA by certified mail. EPA will construe the failure to furnish a confidentiality claim within fourteen(14) calendar days from the date of NuStar's receipt of this letter as a waiver of that claim and information may be made available to the public by the EPA without further notice. See 40 CFR § 2.203(a)(2). Additionally, if NuStar believes that any information in NuStar's response to the enclosed report is entitled to treatment as confidential business information, please identify any such information and assert a confidentiality claim in accordance with 40 CFR § 2.203(b) in NuStar's response.

If EPA determines that any information over which NuStar asserts a claim meets the criteria set forth in 40 CFR § 2.208, the information will be disclosed only to the extent, and by means of the procedures specified in 40 CFR Part 2, Subpart B.
