19. Treatment of confidential information

Any information which is by its nature confidential or which is provided on a confidential basis shall, upon cause shown, be treated as such by the Government. Such information shall not be disclosed without specific written permission from the party submitting the confidential information.

Parties providing confidential information shall be requested to furnish non-confidential summaries thereof or, if such parties indicate that such information cannot be summarized, the reasons why a summary cannot be provided.

If the Government finds that a request for confidential treatment is not warranted, and if the provider of the information is unwilling to make the information public or to authorize its disclosure in generalized or summary form, the Government may disregard such information unless it can be demonstrated to the
