Well, some of the people here argue that, if their competitors could read
their reports, they would get a good idea of how they're undercutting each

Other than that, in a lot of cases you have to show some reason for why you
should be allowed to see the reports; public curiosity is not considered a
valid excuse

the reports are public information  
because they have been submitted to government agencies. What do you mean by

trade secrets?
