§ 3278.10 - When will BLM disclose information I submit under these regulations?
All Federal and Indian data and information submitted to BLM are subject to part 2 of this title. Part 2 includes the regulations of the Department of the Interior covering public disclosure of data and information contained in Department records. Certain mineral information not protected from disclosure under part 2 may be made available for inspection without a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. Examples of information we will not treat as confidential include:
(a) Facility location;
(b) Facility generation capacity; or
(c) To whom you are selling electricity or produced resources.
§ 3278.11 - When I submit confidential, proprietary information, how can I help ensure it is not available to the public?
When you submit data and information that you believe to be exempt from disclosure under part 2 of this title, you must clearly mark each page that you believe contains confidential information. BLM will keep all data and information confidential to the extent allowed by § 2.13(c) of this title.
§ 3278.12 - How long will information I give BLM remain confidential or proprietary?
The FOIA does not provide a finite period of time during which information may be exempt from public disclosure. BLM will review each situation individually and in accordance with part 2 of this title.
