# §2105.25. When will the Agency notify a submitter of a request for their possibly confidential information?

- (a) Except as outlined in [§ 2105.27](/cfr/45/2105.27.md), an Agency must promptly notify a submitter in writing when it receives a FOIA request if:
  - (1) The requested information has been designated by the submitter as confidential information under [§ 2105.24(a)](/cfr/45/2105.24.md?p=a); or
  - (2) The requested information has not been designated as confidential information by the submitter under [§ 2105.24(a)](/cfr/45/2105.24.md?p=a), but the Agency identifies it as possibly confidential information.
- (b) If a voluminous number of submitters are involved, the Agency may publish a notice in a manner reasonably calculated to reach the attention of the submitters (for example, in newspapers or newsletters, the Agency's website, or the Federal Register) instead of providing a written notice to each submitter.
