The purpose of this part is to estab-lish the procedures and standards by which NHTSA will consider claims that information submitted to the agency is entitl
20、ed to confidential treatment under 5 U.S.C. 552(b), most often be-cause it constitutes confidential busi-ness information as described in 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4), and to address the treatment of information determined to be entitled to confidential treat-ment. 512.2 Applicability. (a) This part applies t
21、o all informa-tion submitted to NHTSA, except as provided in paragraph (b) of this sec-tion, for which a determination is sought that the material is entitled to confidential treatment under 5 U.S.C. 552(b), most often because it con-stitutes confidential business informa-tion as described in 5 U.S.
22、C. 552(b)(4), and should be withheld from public dis-closure. (b) Information received as part of the procurement process is subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulation, 48 CFR Chapter 1, as well as this part.

25、ompounding, or processing of trade commodities and that can be said to be the end product of either in-novation or substantial effort. (2) Commercial or financial informa-tion is considered confidential if it has not been publicly disclosed and: (i) If the information was required to be submitted an
26、d its release is likely to impair the Governments ability to ob-tain necessary information in the fu-ture, or is likely to cause substantial harm to the competitive position of the person from whom the information was obtained; or (ii) if the information was volun-tarily submitted and is the kind of
27、 in-formation that is customarily not re-leased to the public by the person from whom it was obtained. (d) NHTSA means the National High-way Traffic Safety Administration. (e) Substantial competitive harm in-cludes significant competitive damage under Chapter 329 of Title 49 of the United States Cod
