in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

Businesses that give the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce confidential statistics are protected. The Bureau can only use that data for statistics, and can't let outsiders see individual reports or publish numbers that would reveal who supplied them.

Any statistical information that individuals, corporations, and firms furnish in confidence to the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce must be held confidential, and used only for the statistical purposes it was supplied for. Except as provided in subchapter III of chapter 35 of title 44, the Director of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce cannot permit anyone other than the Bureau's sworn employees to examine individual reports. The Director also cannot permit any domestic commerce statistics to be published in a way that would reveal the identity of the individual, corporation, or firm that supplied the data.
