If a quoter considers elements of its quotation to be exempt under FOIA, ensure the following notice is annotated on the title page of the quote:

Elements of this document, as identified on individual pages, are considered by the submitter to be privileged or confidential trade secrets or commercial or financial information not subject to mandatory disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act. Material considered privileged or confidential on this basis is contained on pages ____.

The quote must annotate each individual item it considers privileged or confidential under the FOIA exemption with the following no-tice:

The data or information is considered confidential or privileged, and not subject to mandatory disclosure under the FOIA.

All information in an quoter’s proposal not designated may be subject to automatic public disclosure if it is requested under the FOIA.

It must be emphasized that under the FOIA no information is automatically exempt from public disclosure. However, no disclosures will be made without careful evaluation, giving due regard to the need for safeguarding material considered privileged or confidential by the quoter. It is Department of Justice policy to withhold whenever possible material that is genuinely privileged or confidential.
