PETITION FOR REVIEW OF
ILLINOIS ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY’S
DENIAL OF TRADE SECRET PROTECTION.
Pursuant to Section
5/7.1
of the Illii~oisEnvironmental Protection Act (the “Act”),
415
ILCS 5/7, and the following sections of the Illinois Administrative Code: 2 Ill. Adm. Code
2175.600(f), 35 Ill Adm. Code 105.204(f), 130.214(a); Midwest Generation EME, LLC
(“Midwest Generation”)
respectfully submits this Petition for Review of the Illinois
Environmental Protection Agency’s (“JEPA’s”) final determination denying protection to certain
information Midwest Generation submitted to IEPA.
1.
By letter dated March 10, 2004, received by Midwest Generation on or about
March 15, 2004, IEPA denied Midwest Generation’s trade secret claims pertaining to certain
information Midwest Generation submitted to IEPA. (Attachment 1) The IEPA denial concerns
information Midwest Generation submitted on November 6, 2003 in response to an information
request from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“USEPA”) pursuant to
Section 114 ofthe Clean Air Act. As required by USEPA’s §114 request, Midwest Generation
submitted a copy ofits response to IEPA.
2.
On January
5,
2004, IEPA requested a Statement of Justification for Midwest
Generation’s claims. (Attachment 2)
On January .23, 2004, Midwest Generation timely
•~-....—submittedthis Statement-of Justification. (Attachment 3) On March 10, 2004, rnPA..~nicd
trade secret protection to two categories of information Midwest Generation claims are trade
secret. First, IEPA denied trade secret protection to certain information Midwest Generation
compiled concerning capital projects at each of its coal-fired electric generating units. This
information included a description of the capital project, the date the project was completed or
the planned completion date, the dollars expended, or to be expended, on each project, and the
work order number for the project (hereafter this compilation will be referred to as the “Project
Chart”). (Attachment 4) IEPA determined that only the work order number was trade secret
information. Secondly, IEPA denied trade secret protection to information identifying the
monthly and annual net generation, the monthly coal heat content, and the monthly net heat rate
•for each of its coal-fired units (hereafter this compilation will be referred to as the “Generation
Chart”). (Attachment
5)
3.
For the reasons set forth below, IEPA’s denial of trade secret protection as to this
information is improper. The regulations governing the identification and protection of trade
secrets provide that an article will be determined to represent a trade secret if thc owner has
complied with the procedures for making a claim and justification; if the information sought to
be protected has not been published, disseminated or otherwise become a matter of general
public knowledge; and if the article has competitive value. See 35 Ill Admin Code 130.208(a).
IEPA does not dispute that Midwest Generation has properly complied with the procedures for
making a claim and a justification; that Midwest Generation properly identified the information
as confidential upon submittal to IEPA; and that it timely provided TEPA with its Statement of
-2-
Justification. The IEPA denial of protection notes no deficiencies in Midwest Generation’s
compliance with the relevant procedures. As discussed below, Midwest Generation’s Statement
cf Justification sufficiently. demonstrates that the information soughLto~.be ~rotect~d has noL,
become a matter ofgeneral public knowledge and that the information has competitive value.
4.
As to the first category of information, the Project Chart, Midwest Generation
spent over four months and considerable expense compiling this information. This information
is displayed in chart form and describes every capital project over $100,000.00 undertaken at
each of Midwest Generation’s coal-fired units, the date the project was undertaken or will be
undertaken, and the cost ofthe project. As set forth in the Statement ofJustification, the Project
Chart was compiled solely to respond to the USEPA’s information request and Midwest
Generation has properly maintained its confid’entiality. This Information, compiled in this
format, only exists in the submittals made to USEPA and IEPA. While a few ofthe projects are
identified in publicly available permits, most are not. Information regarding the cost of the
projects, and the timing ofthe projects are unavailable to the public. Compilations such as these
are protectable as trade secrets even if some or all ofthe data are publicly available.

ISC v.
Alteh, 765 F.Supp 1310, 1321 (N.D. Ill. 1990); Nilssen v. Motorola, Inc., 963 F. Supp. 664, 676
(N.D. Ill 1991)
5.
Disclosing the information on the Project Chart will harm Midwest Generation’s
competitive position. This comprehensive list of capital projects gives competitors an insider’s
• view to the maintenance history of each unit revealing the reliability and future maintenance
needs of the individual units.
•
By reviewing a unit’s maintenance history, a competitor can
determine the maintenance needs associated with a specific unit enabling the competitor to
estimate the unit’s future reliability and to predict future maintenance outages. The ability to
-3-
predict future maintenance outages allows a competitor to take advantage of these facts to plan.
its own unit dispatching and pricing. Ifa competitor can predict when a unit will be down, it can
predict when the, electricity will be.. in shQtei:.,supply.. In th~:currem...highly cosnpetitive
independent power producers market, this information is highly sensitive. Further, because
knowing a unit’s reliability reflects its profitability, this is also valuable information for investors
and lending institutions.
The Project Chart reveals how much Midwest Generation paid for certain maintenance
projects as well as pollution control equipment; competitors, as well as future suppliers, can use
this information to negotiate more favorable pricing for themselves, thereby increasing Midwest
Generation’s costs and reducing its profit margins. Ifvendors are aware of the past pricing for
similar services and equipment, Midwest Generation will be at a competitive disadvantage,
compared to electric generators for which the information is unavailable, when negotiating future
contracts.
6.
The second category of information that IEPA has denied trade secret protection
is monthly and annual net generation, average coal heat content and net heat rate for each of
Midwest Generation’s coal-fired units that Midwest Generation compiled on the Generation
Chart for the purpose of responding to the USEPA’s §114 request (hereafter the “Generation
Chart”). As set forth in Midwest Generation’s Statement of Justification, Midwest Generation
does not make this information available to the public. Midwest Generation does submit
information regarding monthly net generation and coal heat content as required to the
Department of Energy. The Department of Energy does not maintain, this information in a
simple chart format however; rather, it is maintained in numerous coded spreadsheets on the
Department of Energy website but deeply embedded, difficult to access and in numerous
-4-
different locations requiring the pursuit of multiple links.
Sophisticated technical and
substantive knowledge would be necessary to even attempt to replicate this data. If a competitor
could obtain the net generation. and coa1. heat content information, on. this chart, which was
compiled solely to comply with a USEPA information request, simply by filing a FOIA request
rather then piecing it together from various hard to obtain sources, competitors would gain an
improper windfall. Worthington Compressors v. Castle, 662 F.2d 45 (U.S. App. DC 1981). For
the purpose ofthe
§
114 information request, Midwest Generation calculated each unit’s monthly
net heat rate and the results of this calculation are not publicly available.
7.
Disclosing information on the Generation.Chart will harm Midwest Generation’s
competitive position. The unit’s heat rate represents the unit’s efficiency, a significant indicator
of a unit’s profitability. Midwest Generation’s competitive position is measured by its ability to
sell electricity from its lowest cost units; disclosing this information publicly would allow
competitors to undercut Midwest Generation’s pricing regime.
8.
Even if the Board were to agree with IEPA’s determination that certain
information on the Project Chart and the Generation Chart does not constitute trade secrets,
IEPA has only ‘addressed §7(a)(i) of the Act and this matter would need to be remanded for a
‘detem’iination under §7(a)(iv) ofthe Act.
9.
Further, if the Board were ‘to decide that IEPA properly determined that the
information did not constitute trade secrets under section 7(a)(i) of the Act, the Board should
remand this matter to IEPA to require IEPA to compile with IEPA’s Freedom of Information
Act regulations at 2 Ill Adm. Code Part 1828 before the Project Chart and the Generation Charts
are released to a requestor. Midwest Generation understands that this information is the subject
of a FOIA request.
-5-
10.
For the reasons set forth above, Midwest Generation requests that Attachments 3,
4 and
5
to this petition be filed under seal. Confidential and trade secret information has been
redacted.frorn e~picso ~these attachrnents.
-‘
11.
For the reasons set forth above, Midwest Generation requests that the hearing on
this matter be held in-camera.
WHEREFORE, Midwest Generation respectfully requests that its Petition for Review be
granted and the Illinois Pollution Control Board enter an order reversing JEPA’s determination
denying trade secret protection to the Project Chart and the Generation Chart.

2004
and received by the illinois EPA on January 26, 2004. The Statement ofJustification was
provided at the request ofthe Illinois EPA and covers information submitted by Midwest
to the
Illinois EPA in response to a United States Environmental Protection Agency (“USEPA”)
request for information under §114 ofthe Clean AirAct. This letter serves as the illinois EPA’s
response to Midwest’s Statement ofJustification.
The Illinois EPA acknowledges Midwest’s withdrawal ofits confidentiality claim pertaining to
information contained on pages MWGOOI7 through MWGOO22, information contained in
column
7 on pages M’WG0024
through MW0000056, and the boiler cross-sectionals.
Notwithstanding the withdrawn information on pages MWGOO24 through MWG000056, the
Illinois EPA has determined
that
only columns 2 and 4 constitute confidential business or trade
secret
infonnation. Midwest
failed to adequately demonstrate that
the
information has
not been
published, disseminated,
or
otherwise become a matter ofgeneral
public
knowledge (i.e.,
the
Illinois EPA was
able to locate the
information in sources available
tothe public)
and/or failed to
demonstrate that the information has competitive value. The Illinois EPA denies trade secret
protection to the abovementioned information with the-exception-ofthe information contained in~
-
columns 2 and 4.
Regarding the information contained in the response to USEPA’s request #3, the illinois EPA is
denying trade secret protection to all infonnation except that found in column 2. Midwest failed
to adequately demonstrate that the information has not been published, disseminated, or

Midwest
Generation’s Statement of
Justification
Dear Mr. Pressnall:
I am writing on behalf ofMidwest Generation EME, LLC (“Midwest Generation”
or the “Company”) to provide a Statement of Justification for its claim of business
confidentiality concerning information (the “Confidential Information) submitted in response to
a request for information (the “Information Request Response”) from the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (“U.S. EPA”). In this Statement of Justification, as required
by 35 Ill Admin. Code
§
130.203, the Company describes the procedures it uses to safeguard the
Confidential Information, explains the competitive value of the Confidential Information and
identifies the people to whom the Confidential Information has disclosed. I attach a certification
by Fred McCluskey, on behalf of the Company, that upon information and belief, the
Confidential Information has not been published or disseminated, and has not otherwise become
a matter of general public knowledge. (See Attachment A)

has been Disclosed (35 Ill. Admin. Code
§~
130.203 (b), (d))
In its Information Request Response, the Company identified various information
as “Confidential Business Information.” Through this letter, the Company withdraws its claim
of business confidentiality for (1) information contained on pages MWGOOI7 through
MWGOO22, (2) information contained in Column 7 on pages MWGOO24 through MWG000056
and (3) the boiler cross-sectionals, which are stamped MWG000I53, MWG000155,

maintains that the following pieces of information are trade secrets and must not be disclosed to
third parties who request a copy ofthe Information Request Response..
A.
Gross and Net Generation; Gross and Net Heat Rate; and Coal Heat Content
The monthly and annual gross an&--net ~(I) generation, (2) heat rate, and (3)

Midwest Generation also provides

List ofCai,ital Projects
I,
The list of capital projects that appears on pages MWG00005S through
MWG000068 of the Information Request Response is trade secret information. Midwest
Generation did not possess such a comprehensive list of its projects until it assembled this list for
the purpose of responding to the Information Request. This list possesses competitive value
because, by looking at the nature of the projects, competitors can accurately assess Midwest
Generation’s environmental control strategies ‘and can assess whether the projects will shift
Midwest Generation’s cost position in the marketplace. Further, if this information is released,
competitors may be able to predict the Company’s future maintenance costs, giving other power
producers and utilities a competitive advantage. Finally, competitors could use the information
regarding Midwest Generation’s costs for certain equipment to negotiate more favorable prices
with vendors, resulting in substantial harm to Midwest Generation’s competitive position.
