N.J. Admin. Code § 7:14A-18.3 - Procedures for asserting confidentiality
(a) Any person may
assert a confidentiality claim regarding information, in whole or in part, by
following the procedures set forth in (b) through (f) below.
(b) Any person submitting information to the
Department and asserting a confidentiality claim covering any of the information
shall submit two sets of documents to the Department. The first set shall contain
all information requested by the Department, including any information which the
person alleges to be entitled to confidential treatment. The second set, which will
go into the public file, shall be identical to the first set except that it shall
not contain information which the person alleges to be entitled to confidential
treatment. In order to provide the public notice that information has been omitted
from the second set under a claim of confidentiality, the second set shall indicate
where such deletions have been made.
(c)
The top of each page of the first set containing the information which the person
alleges to be entitled to confidential treatment shall display the heading
"CONFIDENTIAL" in bold type or stamp.
(d) All parts of the text of the first set which
the person alleges to be entitled to confidential treatment shall be underscored or
highlighted in a clear manner. Translucent ink markers are acceptable for this
purpose.
(e) The outside of the envelope
containing the first set containing the information which the person alleges to be
entitled to confidential treatment shall display the word "CONFIDENTIAL" in bold
type on both sides.
(f) The person
submitting the sets of information shall send them to the appropriate permitting
office by certified mail (return receipt requested), or by other means which
provides verification of the date of delivery to the Department.
