In submitting information pursuant to the Oklahoma\n\nAgriculture Biotechnology Act, an applicant for a permit may\n\ndesignate as \"confidential\" any portions of the information that the\n\napplicant believes are entitled to treatment as confidential\n\nbusiness information. A designation of confidentiality shall be\n\nmade in writing and in a manner as the State Board of Agriculture\n\nmay prescribe. Information designated as \"confidential\" may be\n\nsubmitted separately from other material submitted.\n\nB. Information that would be protected from disclosure under\n\nthe federal Freedom of Information Act will be classified as\n\nConfidential Business Information (CBI). This includes trade\n\nsecrets and commercial or financial information found to be\n\nconfidential.\n\nC. Documents containing trade secrets which the person\n\nsubmitting asserts are trade secrets will be deemed CBI. \"Trade\n\nsecrets\" means information relating to the production process. This\n\nincludes production data, formulas, and processes and quality\n\ncontrol tests and data, as well as research methodology and data\n\ngenerated in the development of the production process. This\n\ninformation must be:\n\n1. Commercially valuable;\n\n2. Used in one's business; and\n\n3. Maintained in secrecy.\n\nD. Documents containing commercial or financial information\n\nwill be confidential if a review establishes that substantial\n\ncompetitive harm would result from disclosure. Information such as\n\nsafety data, efficacy or potency data, and environmental data may be\n\nconfidential information. Persons desiring protection for\n\nconfidential information must submit a detailed statement containing\n\nfacts to show that the person faces active competition in the area\n\nto which the information relates, and that substantial competitive\n\nharm would result from disclosure.\n\nE. The applicant may withdraw the application at any time by\n\nproviding written notice to the Board. If the application is\n\nwithdrawn, all confidential business information shall be returned\n\nto the applicant and shall not be disclosed.\n\nF. Except as provided in the Oklahoma Agriculture Biotechnology\n\nAct, no person shall reveal or use for a person’s own benefit any\n\nconfidential business information received pursuant to the Oklahoma\n\nAgriculture Biotechnology Act.","path":["OK Code","Title 2"],"source_url":"https://www.oklegislature.gov/OK_Statutes/CompleteTitles/os2.pdf","current_through":"2026-08-14","vintage":"open-us-law v2026.08, retrieved 2026-09-14","retrieved_at":"2026-09-14T18:32:36Z","sha256":"1df43d9978df3852308ea02c772f13378829d1b3a203e32c907d09df0fa0bda5","source_id":"us-ok","stale":false,"prev":"us-ok/okla.-stat.-tit.-2-2-11-38","next":"us-ok/okla.-stat.-tit.-2-2-11-40"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
