"EVALUATION AND ADMINISTRATION BY FEDERAL AND NON-FEDERAL
PERSONNEL: Federal employees are subject to the non-disclosure requirements of a criminal
statute, the Trade Secrets Act, 18 USC 1905. The Government may seek the advice of qualified

nondiscretionary administrative activities. The respondents, by submitting their response,
consent to DOE providing their response to non-Federal parties. Non-Federal parties given
access to responses must be subject to an appropriate obligation of confidentiality prior to being
given the access. Submissions may be reviewed by support contractors and private consultants."
