{longname} Q314. Can I designate data as CBI in my XML file?
{longname}
A314. No. The EPA Administrator has published a final rule that delineates  which data submitted in e-GGRT will be treated as Confidential Business  Information (CBI) and which data can be released to the public (76 FR  3078253057, published MayAugust 2625, 2011).  This final rule made CBI determinations  for the source categories required to report by September 30, 2011. EPA  will handle data submitted in e-GGRT based on these determinations.  Reporters cannot make additional claims in their XML files.

Reporters can look at this list to determine if a particular data element will be treated as CBI: [http://www.epa.gov/climatechange/emissions/downloads11/documents/CBI-final-data-category.pdf|http://www.epa.gov/climatechange/emissions/downloads11/documents/CBI-final-data-category.pdf] (PDF) (90 pp, 1.8MB, [About PDF|http://www.epa.gov/epahome/pdf.html])
