Section 6 CCR 1007-3-2.201 - Substantive Criteria for Use in Trade Secret Determinations

"Trade Secrets" means the whole or any portion or phase of any scientific or technical information, design, process, procedure, formula, improvement, confidential business or financial information, listing of names, addresses, or telephone numbers, or other information relating to any business or profession which is secret and of value. The Division shall hold that information is entitled to protection as a trade secret if:

(1) The business has asserted a business confidentiality claim which has not expired by its terms, nor been waived nor withdrawn;
(2) The business has satisfactorily shown that it has taken reasonable measures to protect the confidentiality of the information, and that it intends to continue to take such measures;
(3) The information is not, and has not been, reasonably obtainable without the business's consent by other persons (other than governmental bodies) by use of legitimate means (other than discovery based on a showing of special need in a judicial or quasi-judicial proceeding);
(4) No statute specifically requires disclosure of the information; and
(5) Either:
(i) The business has satisfactorily shown that disclosure of the information is likely to cause substantial harm to the business's competitive position; or
(ii) The information is voluntarily submitted information and its disclosure would be likely to impair the Government's ability to obtain necessary information in the future.
