The agency initially denied the request, indicating the information had been claimed as confidential business information by the submitters and that the agency would have to provide notice to the submitters to give them an opportunity to substantiate their initial claims. Perkins Coie filed an administrative appeal, arguing the agency could not invoke a blanket claim under Exemption 4. After hearing nothing further concerning its appeal, the law firm filed suit.
