1Opinion of the Court
Griffith, Circuit Judge:
Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. § 552 , People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) asked the Centers for Disease Control in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (collectively, HHS) for information about the importation of nonhuman primates. The importers objected that answering some of the requests would reveal confidential information about their businesses. HHS agreed and redacted certain types of information under one of FOIA's exemptions. The district court upheld the redactions, and we affirm.
