Information Bulletin 3

This is the third in a series of information bulletins designed to assist in understanding the Hazardous Materials Information Review Act (HMIRA) and Regulations (HMIRR), and the procedures followed by the Hazardous Materials Information Review Commission. Other information bulletins are available on the following topics:

• Approaches to developing a generic chemical identity for a confidential business information (CBI) controlled product or ingredient (Issue No. 1).
• Responses to frequently asked questions, including claim withdrawals, change in product ownership and its impact on claims for exemption (Issue No. 2).
• Background information, security measures, procedures for filing claims, reminders and common questions and answers (Issue No. 4).

This issue addresses questions respecting the legislative requirements for maintaining the protection of CBI upon the expiration of the 3-year exemption period for a valid claim for exemption. It also provides information which will assist claimants with their reapplications to the Commission.
