(B) Those parts of the charging system which the applicant wishes not to be disclosed to the public because they are considered business sensitive, e.g., "trade secrets," shall be kept completely separate from the balance of the application, along with a full justification of their non-disclosability. The Commission will consider any request for these records under the Freedom of Information Act.

(C) The FMC will evaluate the charging system within sixty (60) calendar days after submission and approval will be assumed unless the FMC otherwise formally notifies the applicant within the sixty-day period.

(D) The database tapes of ATFI may not be made available to any person until its charging system is approved by FMC.

The right of examination shall extend to all documents and other data, regardless of form, necessary to permit adequate evaluation of the reports submitted, along with the computations used.

(iii)(A) Any person having an ATFI database tape may access by computer

the data contained therein for its own use, and/or may permit others to access by computer the data, but only if it records all such access and pays to the FMC the 46-cents-a-minute user charges for all computer access to such data, as prescribed in paragraph (g)(1)(ii) of this section under the approved charging system described in paragraph (m)(2)(i) of this section.

(B) The access of data on paper, e.g., that which has been printed or written on the paper, is not subject to the indirect (secondary) user fee under this paragraph, even if subsequently converted into computer, e.g., database, format.

(iv) No person having an ATFI database tape may allow downloading of the data contained therein other than by an effectively-designed and functioning "Print-Screen" function, which allows printing of one screen at a time onto paper.

(v) Billing and Payment.

(A) Within ten (10) calendar days after the end of each month, each database-tape purchaser under paragraph (m)(2)(i) of this section shall transmit to the Office of Budget and Financial Management, Federal Maritime Commission, 800 North Capitol Street, NW. Washington, DC 20573-0001, a report of all computer access to ATFI data listed by user, date and minutes accessed. Each such purchaser shall simultaneously transmit payment to "the Federal Maritime Commission" for such usage at the rate of 46 cents per minute.

(B) If payment is not made when due, the database purchaser under paragraph (m)(2)(v)(A) of this section may be assessed interest, penalties and administrative costs associated with collection of late payments in accordance with the Federal Claims Collection Standards, 4 CFR 102.13.

(C) The FMC reserves the right to suspend or terminate furnishing ATFI data tapes to any person if payment is not timely made.
