| Section A: Introduction | ||||||||
| GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS This form may be used to submit information under the Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) program for the review of alternatives to Class I and Class II ozone-depleting substances (ODSs) under section 612 of the Clean Air Act. Submitters are required to provide this information on new substitutes or new end-uses of existing substitutes to assist the Agency in assessing the acceptability of chemicals or processes that are considered alternatives in sectors that previously used ODSs. A separate notice must be filed for each alternative you are submitting. You may submit a single notice for multiple uses of the same alternative. If the alternative is a new chemical substance, you must submit a Premanufacturing Notice (PMN) to EPA's New Chemicals Program and the TSCA/SNAP Addendum form to SNAP. Please visit the SNAP website for instructions and frequently asked questions. |

All information claimed as CBI will be treated in a manner consistent with 40 CFR Part 2, Subpart B. Failure to assert and substantiate a claim of confidentiality at the time of submission may result in disclosure of information by the Agency without further notice. To assert a claim on this form, [bracket] the information you claim as confidential and mark the confidential box in the column on the right-side of the corresponding row. If any information is claimed as confidential, you must substantiate those claims below and provide a “sanitized” version of this notice, including attachments, to EPA at the time of the initial submission. For any portion of a submission that you claim as confidential, the following information must be included in a Statement of Data Confidentiality Claims. • Identify specifically by page and line number(s) each portion of the document for which you claim confidentiality. • Give the reasons why the cited passage qualifies for confidential treatment. • If you assert that disclosure of this information would be likely to result in substantial harmful effects to you, describe those harmful effects and explain why they should be viewed as substantial. • Indicate the length of time - until a specific date or event, or permanently - for which the information should be treated as confidential. • Identify the measures you have taken to guard against undesired disclosure of this information. • Describe the extent to which the information has been disclosed, and what precautions have been taken in connection with these disclosures. • Enclose copies of any determinations of confidentiality previously made by EPA, other Federal agencies, or courts concerning this information. Information submitted as CBI may be accessed by companies designated as Authorized Representatives of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under an EPA contract for the purpose of assisting EPA in the development and implementation of national regulations for the protection of stratospheric ozone, including the evaluation of SNAP Information Notices. These Authorized Representatives may have access to any information received by the Stratospheric Protection Division within the EPA’s Office of the Atmospheric Programs. Access to such information is necessary to ensure that these companies can complete the work required by the contract. Such Authorized Representatives of the Administrator are subject to the provisions of 42 U.S.C. 7414(c) respecting confidential business information as implemented by 40 CFR 2.301(h). |
