About this file

This is a Disclosure Exemption Affidavit template submitted to the State of Oregon, specifically the Oregon Housing and Community Services (OHCS) department, in response to Request for Applications RFA #S-91400-0001602 (OHCS #9304) for Statewide Shelter Program activities. The affidavit serves as a formal declaration by an authorized applicant representative affirming that certain information contained within their application submission qualifies for exemption from public disclosure under Oregon's Public Records Law (ORS 192.311 through 192.478) and the Uniform Trade Secrets Act (ORS 646.461 through 646.475). The document requires the affiant to attest under penalty of perjury that they are an employee with full authority to submit the affidavit and that they have reviewed both the RFA provisions and the application contents.

The affidavit identifies specific categories of information claimed as trade secrets or otherwise exempt from disclosure, including formulas, plans, patterns, processes, production data, cost data, customer lists, and compilations of information that: (1) are not patented, known only to certain organizational individuals, used in business operations, possess commercial value, and provide competitive advantage; or (2) derive independent economic value from not being publicly known and are subject to reasonable confidentiality efforts by the applicant. The document requires notarization and references Exhibit A, which should contain the specific information claimed as exempt and the corresponding statutory exemption citations. The affidavit acknowledges that final determinations regarding disclosure eligibility may depend on official or judicial review in accordance with Oregon Public Records Law.

I am an employee of Applicant, I have knowledge of the Request for Applications referenced herein, and I have full authority from Applicant to submit this affidavit and accept the responsibilities stated herein.

I have read and am familiar with the provisions of Oregon’s Public Records Law, Oregon Revised Statutes (“ORS”) 192.311 through 192.478, and the Uniform Trade Secrets Act as adopted by the State of Oregon, which is set forth in ORS 646.461 through ORS 646.475. I understand that the Application is a public record held by a public body and is subject to disclosure under the Oregon Public Records Law unless specifically exempt from disclosure under that law.

I have reviewed the information contained in the Application. Applicant believes the information listed in Exhibit A is exempt from public disclosure (collectively, the “Exempt Information”), which is incorporated herein by this reference. It is my opinion that the Exempt Information is exempt from disclosure under Oregon’s Public Records Law under the specifically designated sections as set forth in Exhibit A or constitutes “Trade Secrets” under either the Oregon Public Records Law or the Uniform Trade Secrets Act as adopted in Oregon because that information is either:

A formula, plan, pattern, process, tool, mechanism, compound, procedure, production data, or compilation of information that:

is not patented, is known only to certain individuals within Applicant’s organization and that is used in a business Applicant conducts, has actual or potential commercial value, and gives its user an opportunity to obtain a business advantage over competitors who do not know or use it.

or Information, including a drawing, cost data, customer list, formula, pattern, compilation, program, device, method, technique or process that:

Derives independent economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally known to the public or to other persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use; and Is the subject of efforts by Applicant that are reasonable under the circumstances to maintain its secrecy.
