Q.Where does information disclosure under the Guidelines stand in relation to information disclosure under the "Law Concerning Access to Information Held by Incorporated Administrative Agencies, Etc." (the "Information Disclosure Law")?

A.

NEXI determines whether or not it should disclose information it possesses under the Information Disclosure Law, upon request for disclosure by a member of the public. In contrast, under the Guidelines, NEXI provides, on its own initiative, important information on screening and environmental review, and thereby secures the transparency and accountability of its business operations; it also encourages third parties, including related agencies and stakeholders, to provide information.
