Confidential information protection governs safeguard proceedings, requiring summaries or reasons, and allowing disregard of unwarranted secrecy claims.

Confidential information supplied under the safeguard rules is to be treated as confidential upon cause shown and may not be disclosed without the supplier's specific authorisation. The Director General may require a non-confidential summary, or reasons why summarisation is not possible. If confidentiality is not warranted, or the supplier refuses public or summary disclosure, the information may be disregarded unless its correctness is otherwise demonstrated from appropriate sources.
