SUBPART A: GENERAL PROVISIONS
 
Section 130.100 Purpose and Applicability
 
a) Section 7(a) of the Act provides that
all files, records, and data of the
Illinois

, the Board, and
DNR
shall be open for
reasonable public inspection except for
 
information which constitutes a trade
secret; information privileged against introduction in judicial proceedings;
internal communications of the several agencies; and information concerning
secret manufacturing processes or confidential data submitted by any person
under the Act.
[415 ILCS 5/7(a)]
 
b) This Part establishes procedures to identify and protect trade secrets and other
non-disclosable information.
 
1) Subpart A of this Part sets forth general provisions that apply with respect
to both trade secrets and other non-disclosable information. References in
this Subpart to non-disclosable information other than trade secrets apply
only to proceedings before the Board.
 

2) Subparts B and C of this Part address only trade secrets. Those Subparts
apply to articles submitted to or otherwise obtained by the Board, the

Section 130.102 Additional Procedures
 
The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency and DNR each may adopt additional procedures
that are not inconsistent with this Part to protect articles that are claimed or determined to
represent a trade secret.
 
 
Section 130.104 Definitions and Severability
 
a) Definitions. For the purpose of this Part, “State agency” refers to the Board, the

the meanings set forth in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 101.Subpart B, unless otherwise
provided or unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
  
b) Severability. If any provision of this Part or its application to any person is
adjudged invalid, the adjudication does not affect the validity of this Part as a
whole or of any portion not adjudged invalid.
 
 
Section 130.106 Segregation of Articles
 
Any article, or any page or portion thereof, that is claimed or determined to represent a trade
secret or other non-disclosable information must be kept segregated from articles that are open to
public inspection, and must be kept secure from unauthorized access.
 
Section 130.108 Disposal of Articles
 
The State agency must dispose of an article that is claimed or determined to represent a trade
secret or other non-disclosable information, and any copies made of that article, according to its
application for authority to dispose of State records approved by the State Records Commission.
 
 
Section 130.110 Articles Containing Emission Data
 
a)
All emission data reported to or otherwise obtained by the Illinois Environmental
Protection Agency, the Board, or DNR in connection with any examination,

inspection or proceeding under the Act shall be available to the public to the
extent required by the federal Clean Air Act as amended
[415 ILCS 5/7(c)].
 
b) For purposes of this Section, “emission data” means:
 
1) The identity, amount, frequency, concentration, or other characteristics
(related to air quality) of any contaminant that:
 
A) Has been emitted from an emission unit;
 
B) Results from any emission by the emission unit;
 
 
C) Under an applicable standard or limitation, the emission unit was
authorized to emit; or
 
 
D) Is a combination of any of the items described in subsection
(b)(1)(A), (B), or (C) of this Section.
 
2) The name, address (or description of the location), and the nature of the
emission unit necessary to identify the emission unit, including a
description of the device, equipment, or operation constituting the
emission unit.
 
c) In addition to subsection (b) of this Section, information necessary to determine
or calculate emission data, including rate of operation, rate of production, rate of
raw material usage, or material balance, will be deemed to represent emission
data for the purposes of this Section if the information is contained in a permit to
ensure that the permit is practically enforceable.

SUBPART B: PROCEDURES FOR IDENTIFYING ARTICLES THAT REPRESENT TRADE
SECRETS
 
Section 130.200 Initiation of a Claim that an Article Represents a Trade Secret
 
a) The owner of an article may claim that the article represents a trade secret only by
submitting to the State agency the claim letter required by subsection (b)(1) of
this Section at the time the owner submits the article to the State agency. If the
owner of the article submits the article to the State agency without simultaneously
submitting the claim letter required by subsection (b)(1) of this Section, the article
will be considered a matter of general public knowledge and cannot be protected
as a trade secret.
 

b) The owner of an article seeking trade secret protection must submit the following
information to the State agency at the time the owner submits the article to the
State agency:
 
1) A claim letter that clearly states the name of the article, briefly describes
the article, and states that the article is claimed to represent a trade secret,
as defined in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 101.Subpart B and the Act; and
 
2) A copy of the article marked as provided in Section 130.302 of this Part.
 
  
c) The owner of an article seeking trade secret protection must submit to the State
agency a statement of justification for the claim meeting the requirements of
Section 130.203 of this Subpart. The owner of the article may submit the
statement of justification at the time the owner submits the article, or at a later
time, but in no event later than the time limit established pursuant to Section
130.202 of this Subpart.
 
d) If the State agency is provided with a claim letter required by subsection (b)(1) of
this Section, the State agency must consider the article a trade secret and must
protect it from disclosure pursuant to Subpart C of this Part until the State agency
makes a final determination and the appeal time has expired.
e) The owner of an article seeking trade secret protection is not required to serve any
other persons with the article or the page or portion thereof for which the owner
seeks trade secret protection.
 
Section 130.201 State Agency Request for Justification of Claims
 
a) The State agency may request that the owner of an article claimed to represent a
trade secret submit a statement of justification meeting the requirements of
Section 130.203 of this Subpart. The State agency may make the request when
the article is submitted or obtained, or at any later time.
 
b) The request under subsection (a) of this Section must be in writing. The State
agency must set forth in the request the reasoning for the request. Reasons for the
request may include the following:
 
1) The State agency has received or reasonably expects to receive a request
from the public to disclose the article;
 
2) The article is required to be available to the public in a proceeding before
the State agency;
 
3) Information within the article is required to be contained in a permit
issued by the State agency;

 
4) To facilitate public participation in a proceeding before the State agency;
 
5) A regulation requires that the State agency determine whether the article
represents a trade secret at the time that the article is submitted to or
obtained by the State agency; or
 
6) Determining the validity of the claim will facilitate the timely
performance of State agency responsibilities.
 
 
Section 130.202 Time Limit for Delayed Submission of Justification
 
a) Within 10 working days after the date on which the owner of an article claimed to
represent a trade secret receives a State agency request for justification under
Section 130.201 of this Subpart, the owner must submit to the State agency a
statement of justification meeting the requirements of Section 130.203 of this
Subpart.
 
b) The State agency may extend the time period under subsection (a) of this Section
for a second period of 10 working days if, within the first 10 day period, the
owner of the article requests an extension and demonstrates that the extension is
necessary to complete the statement of justification.
 
 
Section 130.203 Contents of Statement of Justification
 
A statement of justification must contain the following:
 
a) A detailed description of the procedures used by the owner to safeguard the
article from becoming available to persons other than those selected by the owner
to have access thereto for limited purposes;
 
b) A detailed statement identifying the persons or class of persons to whom the
article has been disclosed;
 
c) A certification that the owner has no knowledge that the article has ever been
published or disseminated or has otherwise become a matter of general public
knowledge;
 
d) A detailed discussion of why the owner believes the article to be of competitive
value; and
 
e) Any other information that will support the claim.
 
 

Section 130.204 Waiver of Statutory Deadlines
 
a) When the owner of an article seeking trade secret protection submits a statement
of justification under this Subpart to the State agency, the owner must
simultaneously submit to the State agency a waiver of any statutory deadline for
the State agency to decide the underlying proceeding or matter, such as a permit
application.
 
b) The waiver under subsection (a) of this Section must extend the statutory deadline
for a period equal to the period by which the decision on the underlying
proceeding or matter is delayed due to any subsequent trade secret justification
and determination process plus 45 days.
 
 
Section 130.206 Deadline for State Agency Trade Secret Determination
 
a) The State agency must determine whether the article represents a trade secret
within 45 days after the date it receives a complete statement of justification as
prescribed in Section 130.203 of this Subpart.

time period for the State agency to determine whether the article
represents a trade secret by submitting to the State agency a waiver of the
deadline for the State agency to determine whether the article represents a
trade secret.
 
 
Section 130.208 Standards for State Agency Determination
 
a) An article will be determined to represent a trade secret if:
 
1) The owner has complied with the procedures for making a claim and
justification as prescribed by this Subpart; and
 
2) The statement of justification demonstrates that:
 
A) The article has not been published, disseminated, or otherwise
become a matter of general public knowledge; and
 
B) The article has competitive value.
 
b) There will be a rebuttable presumption that an article has not been published,
disseminated, or otherwise become a matter of general public knowledge, if:

have access to the article for limited purposes; and
 
2) The statement of justification contains a certification that the owner has no
knowledge that the article has ever been published, disseminated, or
otherwise become a matter of general public knowledge.
 
c) The State agency may determine that any page or portion of the article represents
a trade secret without finding that the entire article represents a trade secret.
 
 
Section 130.210 State Agency Actions Following a Negative Determination
 
a) If the State agency determines that an article, or any page or portion thereof, does
not meet the standards specified in Section 130.208(a)(1) or (2) of this Subpart,

page or portion thereof, as a trade secret unless the State agency is served
with notice of the filing of a petition for review of the State agency’s
determination within 35 days after service of the notice of denial on the
owner and any requester.
 
c) If the State agency is served with notice of the filing of a petition for review of its
determination within 35 days after service of the notice of denial on the owner
and any requester, the State agency must notify the requester of the action and
must continue to protect the article, or the page or portion thereof, pursuant to
Subpart C of this Part until the State agency receives official notification of a final
order by a reviewing body with proper jurisdiction that does not reverse the State
agency determination and that is not subject to further appeal.
 
d) If the State agency does not receive the notification of a petition for review within
35 days after service of the notice of denial on the owner and any requester or
does receive official notification of a final, non-appealable action that does not

to Subpart C of this Part and the State agency must so notify the owner and any
requester by certified mail, return receipt requested.
 
 
Section 130.212 State Agency Actions Following a Positive Determination
 
a) If the State agency determines that an article, or any page or portion thereof,
meets the standards specified in subsection 130.208(a)(1) and (2) of this Subpart,

Subpart will apply to that same article when in the possession of either of the
other two State agencies.
 
b) When an article described in subsection (a) of this Section is the subject of a
review before the Board pursuant to Section 130.214(a) of this Subpart, the article
will be treated as a trade secret only unless or until the Board determines that the
article does not respresent a trade secret.

jurisdiction that reverses the Board’s determination and that is not subject to
further appeal.
