(available from the EPA). Each page of the completed application form must be
numbered, e.g. page 5 of 45, etc. Also duplicated pages from the application form
should be uniquely numbered, e.g. page 5(i) of 45, etc. The basic information should
for the most part be supplied in the spaces given in application form and any
supporting documentation should be supplied as attachments, as specified. Consistent

put on public display and open to inspection by any person. Should the applicant
consider information to be confidential, this information should be submitted in a
separate enclosure bearing the legend “In the event that this information is deemed not
to be held as confidential, it must be returned to ........”. In the event that information is
considered to be of a confidential nature, then the nature of this information, and the
