The three Departments announced by

(80 FR 25671), the establishment of an
open forum by which any interested

their views are considered, stakeholders
should provide a written submission to
the Departments.
In reviewing Freedom of Information
Act (FOIA) requests submitted to the
Departments for information related to

Departments are applying the FOIA, 5
U.S.C. 552, and their respective FOIA

of the new material will begin towards

reviewing and considering. No decision
has been made on next steps.
2) Q. When will the joint docket on
www.regulations.gov close for
submissions?

to the Departments’ May 5, 2015 notice
must be submitted to the dockets by

3) Q. The April 10 press release refers
to the Administration’s Open
Government Initiative. Does the open
and transparent character of this forum
mean that anyone can file anything?
A. The Departments are not interested
in limiting the scope of what the public
may offer in terms of submissions.
There is no specific constraint on the
material that interested stakeholders
may submit. Of course, we expect that
the submissions will be relevant, and
we encourage thoughtful insights and
analysis.

4) Q. I understand that the docket on
the www.regulations.gov will be
accessible to the public. Is the public
docket the only means by which I can
provide information?
FOIA regulations, including the
submitter notice process outlined in
Executive Order 12,600. Each
Department will follow its normal FOIA
procedures as to requests received.
A. While the preference is for written
submissions to be made available to the
public, the establishment of the joint
docket is not intended to foreclose other
means of communication with the three
Departments and U.S. government
officials. Please note that the materials
in the dockets will not be edited to
remove identifying or contact
information, and the Departments
caution against including any
information in an electronic submission
that one does not want publicly
disclosed.
7) Q. In the May 5, 2015 notice, the
Departments did not establish a
deadline for comments, but said that
materials should be submitted as soon
as is practicable. Why has this changed
and how will materials submitted after
the new deadlines be treated?
5) Q. How do I submit information that
I believe to be confidential information?
A. Please refer to the Federal Register
notice for the procedure. The
Departments request that submitters of
information that the submitter believes
to be exempt from disclosure under the
Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)
(hereafter ‘‘Confidential Information’’)
(such as trade secrets and commercial or
financial information obtained from a
person that is privileged or
confidential), including those who have
previously submitted Confidential
Information, include a non-confidential
version (either redacted or summarized)
of those confidential submissions in the
public dockets. In the event that the
submitter cannot provide a nonconfidential version of its submission,
the Departments request that the
submitter post a notice in the dockets
stating that it has provided the
Departments with Confidential
Information. Should a submitter fail to
docket either a non-confidential version
of its submission or to post a notice that
Confidential Information has been
provided, the Departments will note the
receipt of the submission on the
dockets, including for submissions
already received, with the submitter’s
organization or name (to the degree
permitted by law) and the date of
submission.
6) Q. How will the Departments handle
Freedom of Information (FOIA) requests
for materials provided by stakeholders
and identified as ‘‘Confidential
Information’’?
A. As noted in the Federal Register
notice, the Departments will process
FOIA requests for information
submitted regarding the Gulf Carriers
matter and marked ‘‘Confidential
Information’’ in accordance with the
FOIA and the Departments’ respective
PO 00000
Frm 00011
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
A. The Departments have received
considerable information from
stakeholders to date. In order to be
responsive to all stakeholders, the
Departments are proceeding with review

materials for the Departments’ review.
Please refer to the Federal Register
notice for deadlines.
