This document is a formal request from Harman International Industries, Inc. to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for confidentiality regarding certain exhibits related to the product identified by FCC ID APIBAR1300SUB2. The request is made pursuant to Sections 0.457(d) and 0.459 of the Commission's Rules and FCC Guidance document 726920.
Harman seeks permanent confidential treatment for exhibits containing trade secrets and proprietary information that is not customarily released to the public. The disclosure of this information could be harmful to the applicant and provide unjustified benefits to competitors. Additionally, the company requests short-term confidentiality for certain exhibits until the intended date of marketing, with a specified period of 180 days. Harman attests that marketing will commence after the short-term confidentiality expires, or Nemko will be informed to release the information if marketing commences earlier.
The document outlines specific exhibits for which confidentiality is requested, including block diagrams, external photos, internal photos, operation description, parts list, tune-up procedure, schematic diagrams, test setup photos, and the user manual. The type of confidentiality requested (permanent or short-term) is indicated for each exhibit.
