## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Administrative & Public Law](https://ailawframework.com/practice/administrative-and-public-law.md) |
| Human involvement | Red: Lawyer writes; AI may check, clarify or collect data |
| How AI is used | Columns are the submitter named, the date the record was submitted, and whether the file shows a confidential-commercial designation. Write no sentence of the notice to the submitter or to the requester. |
| What the lawyer must review | Executive Order 12600 tells an agency, to the extent permitted by law, to notify a submitter of confidential commercial information when it determines it may be required to disclose the records under 5 U.S.C. § 552. The order defines that information as records that arguably contain material exempt under Exemption 4 because disclosure could reasonably be expected to cause substantial competitive harm. Exemption 4 in the statute is trade secrets and commercial or financial information obtained from a person and privileged or confidential. Section 4 of the order gives the submitter a reasonable period to object. It states no number of days. Section 9 also requires notice to the requester. Section 10 says the order creates no right enforceable at law. You write both notices. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: Columns are the submitter named, the date the record was submitted, and whether the file shows a confidential-commercial designation. Write no sentence of the notice to the submitter or to the requester.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- Do not treat the order's competitive-harm sentence as a judicial test of Exemption 4. No case was opened.
- Section 8 lists cases where notice need not be given, including a decision not to disclose and information already public. Do not invent a day count.
- The order is for executive departments and agencies. A state access statute was not opened.
