SUR-REPLY OF NON-PARTY MANVILLE PERSONAL INJURY SETTLEMENT
TRUST TO DEBTORS’ MOTION FOR LEAVE TO SERVE SUBPOENA
The Manville Trust respectfully submits this Sur-Reply to address certain
assertions made by Debtors in their Reply in Support of Motion for Leave to Serve Subpoena on
Manville Trust (the “Reply”) (Dkt. No. 4646).1
I.
THE MANVILLE TRUST OBJECTS TO THE SUBPOENA BECAUSE IT ISOVERREACHING, NOT BECAUSE OF ANY BIAS AGAINST GARLOCK
1. In their Reply, Debtors assert that, as a result of its “undisclosed
relationships” with certain law firms and individuals representing the interests of asbestos
claimants, the Manville Trust is “treat[ing] Garlock differently” from other co-defendants by
resisting the production of “information the Manville Trust normally provides to other co-
defendants as a matter of policy.” Reply at 12, 17. Debtors’ assertion is simply incorrect.
1 Unless otherwise noted, all undefined and abbreviated terms herein have the same meaning as in
the Objection of Non-Party Manville Personal Injury Settlement Trust to the Debtors’ Motion for
Leave to Serve Subpoena (the “Manville Objection”) (Dkt. No. 4638). The factual bases for thisSur-Reply are set forth in the accompanying supplemental declaration of Jared S. Garelick
(“Supp. Garelick Decl.”).

2. To start, the four (not three, as Debtors assert) Trustees of the Manville
Trust (the “Trustees”) make all final trust decisions based on what they determine to be in the best
interests of the Manville Trust and its beneficiaries. Debtors attempt to impugn the independence
of the Trustees by speculating that one of them, Dr. Mark Peterson, who serves as the
Committee’s claims expert, participated in the Manville Trust’s decision to file its objection. He
did not. Dr. Peterson recused himself from the Manville Trust’s consideration of the Motion. See
Supp. Garelick Decl. ¶¶ 2-4. Debtors also assert that the Manville Trust’s institutional
relationship with the Selected Counsel of the Beneficiaries (“SCB”), a group that includes law
firms and attorneys representing the interests of asbestos claimants in this and/or other actions,
swayed its decision to file its objection. See Reply at 12. Debtors’ assertion is incorrect. As a
governance matter, the Trustees are required to, and do, consult with the SCB on matters of
concern to the SCB’s constituents. There is nothing untoward about this. The Trustees have a
fiduciary obligation to consider the views of Trust beneficiaries as part of their decision-making
process. And it was the Trustees, not the SCB or its counsel, who decided to file the Manville
Objection after independently concluding that Debtors’ Motion was overreaching. See Supp.
Garelick Decl. ¶¶ 3-4.
3. Debtors’ contention that, in objecting to the Motion, the Manville Trust is
treating them “differently” than other co-defendants also lacks any basis in fact. As demonstrated
in the Manville Objection, the Manville Trust does not provide data extracts for tens of thousands
of claimants in response to mass subpoenas without first negotiating limits on the scope of
disclosure and on the use of any produced data, particularly personally identifiable claimant
information. See Manville Objection ¶ 21. The Manville Trust has taken this approach over many
years, in various fora, and its efforts in this regard have been successful, in part because other co-

3
defendants, in contrast to Debtors, have been willing to craft reasonable limits on the scope of
disclosure and on the use of information produced by the Manville Trust. See Supp. Garelick
Decl. ¶¶ 5-6. If the Manville Trust is treating Garlock “differently,” it is only because Garlock has
refused to limit its sweeping Subpoena or consider a protective order that would restrict its use of
Manville Trust data extracts to claim estimation.
II.
DEBTORS DO NOT REQUIRE CLAIMANT IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION
TO ESTIMATE THEIR AGGREGATE NON-MESOTHELIOMA LIABILITY
4. In its Objection, the Manville Trust made clear that an anonymized
production of claimant data would suffice for purposes of estimation. Manville Objection ¶¶ 40,
53. In their Reply, Debtors insist that “the Manville Trust’s request for an anonymous production
would render it useless, because Dr. Bates needs identifying information . . . to match the
produced data to claimants in the Garlock Analytical Database . . . .” Reply at 3 (emphasis
added); see also Bates Decl. ¶ 7(1) (“The claimant identifying information will be used to match
the Manville Trust data to specific claimants in the Garlock Analytical Database . . . . If the
information provided does not include identifying information, such a matching exercise would
not be possible.”) (emphasis added).
5. Debtors’ assertion that they require personally identifiable claimant
information to match Garlock claimants with data for those same claimants in the Manville Trust
database is incorrect. Debtors provide no reason why the Manville Trust – or some third party
service vendor – could not use personally identifiable claimant data to match Garlock claimants
with claimants in the Manville Trust’s database and then produce data for matched claimants in an
anonymized format, with data fields such as the claimants’ names, social security numbers, home
addresses, and the like deleted. Although the Manville Trust remains concerned that Debtors’

“first name, last name” matching procedure would yield “false positives,” Manville Objection ¶
33, Debtors appear sanguine that Bates White will be able to “apply advanced algorithms . . . to
identify and remove potential false positives.” Reply at 7. If disclosed, the Manville Trust would
be open to considering the use of these same “advanced algorithms” to provide Garlock with an
anonymized, matched set of claimant data.
6. Even if they require claimant specific information for matching, Debtors
provide no support for their assertion that they need such information to then estimate their
liability for already matched claimants. Accordingly, if Debtors conduct the matching process
themselves, the Court should order them, after completing that process, to (i) anonymize the
matched data, (ii) place the anonymized data in a segregated database where it would be available
for estimation purposes, (iii) secure the database containing claimant identifiable information and
not place it in the public record; and (iv) delete all claimant identifiable information at the end of
the estimation proceeding. The Hon. Robert E. Gerber endorsed such an approach in connection
with the estimation litigation in In re Motors Liquidation Co., Ch. 11 Case No. 09-50026 (REG)
(Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Oct. 22, 2010) (Dkt. No. 7526) (Supp. Garelick Decl., Ex. A), in which Bates
White also acted as a claims estimation expert. Such an approach would provide the parties with
the data they require for claims estimation without prejudicing individual plaintiffs in their
litigations against other asbestos defendants in the tort system.
III.
THE DISSEMINATION OF DATA FOR 91,000-PLUS
CLAIMANTS WOULD OFFEND THEIR PRIVACY INTERESTS
AND IMPAIR THE VALUE OF THE MANVILLE TRUST’S DATABASE
7. The Manville Trust demonstrated that, when it discloses data on the scale
called for by the Subpoena, it does so subject to strict confidentiality and use limitations described
Case 10-31607 Doc 4660 Filed 06/16/15 Entered 06/16/15 11:11:15 Desc Main Document Page 4 of 7

in its form of License Agreement. Manville Objection ¶¶ 22-25, 55. Debtors respond that the
Manville Trust’s concerns about the unrestricted use and disclosure of extracts from its database
are unwarranted because the “Manville Trust ‘generally releases’ all the data . . . to asbestos
defendants who subpoena it. . . .” Reply at 3-4; id. at 17 n.10. Debtors ignore the stark
distinctions between the Manville Trust’s approach to responding to “one-off” subpoenas in
individual litigations and its approach to responding to subpoenas in mass litigation, see Manville
Objection ¶ 19, as well as the reasons why such distinct approaches are appropriate.
8. From the perspective of individual claimants, there is an important
distinction between the Manville Trust’s producing claim information in response to one-off
subpoenas and producing a computerized, easily searchable data extract containing scores of
thousands of claim files. As the Supreme Court has recognized,
[B]oth the common law and the literal understandings of privacy
encompass the individual’s control of information concerning his or
her person. In an organized society, there are few facts that are notat one time or another divulged to another. Thus the extent of the
protection accorded a privacy right at common law rested in part onthe degree of dissemination of the allegedly private fact and the
extent to which the passage of time rendered it private . . . . [T]he
issue here is whether the compilation of otherwise hard-to-obtaininformation alters the privacy interest implicated by disclosure of
that information. Plainly there is a vast difference between the
public records that might be found after a diligent search of
courthouse files, county archives, and local police stationsthroughout the country and a computerized summary located in a
single clearinghouse of information.
U.S. Dep’t of Justice v. Reporters Comm. for Freedom of the Press, 489 U.S. 749, 763-64 (1989).
9.
This distinction is equally important from the perspective of the Manville
Trust, which regards the data it has compiled and maintained, at its own expense, as a
commercially valuable asset. See Supp. Garelick Decl. ¶ 5. So do Debtors. See Reporters
Comm., 489 U.S. at 764 (noting that if the information sought “were ‘freely available,’ there
Case 10-31607 Doc 4660 Filed 06/16/15 Entered 06/16/15 11:11:15 Desc Main Document Page 5 of 7

6
would be no reason” for the party to seek disclosure of the compiled files). Although, from time
to time, the Manville Trust licenses access to extracts from its database in exchange for a licensing
fee, it imposes strict confidentiality and use limits on such extracts (including on the disclosure of
personally identifiable claimant information), both out of deference to claimant privacy concerns
and to safeguard the value of the database. Unaccompanied by such restrictions, the compelled
production of data for 91,000-plus individuals – approximately 10 percent of the claim files
maintained by the Manville Trust – could materially diminish the value of the database as a trust
asset while conferring a windfall on claims estimation experts, who would obtain unrestricted
access to a sizeable volume of Manville Trust data free of charge. See Supp. Garelick Decl. ¶ 8.
CONCLUSION
10. For the foregoing reasons and those set forth in the Manville Objection, the
Manville Trust respectfully requests that this Court deny the Motion, without prejudice to
Debtors’ applying for leave to issue a modified subpoena that:
a. requires the production of data and documents for a random sample of no
more than 10% of the relevant Manville Trust claimants;
b. excludes from disclosure information irrelevant to estimation or Plan
feasibility, including personally identifiable information, Manville Trustsettlement offers and information about claimants’ non-asbestos-related
medical conditions;
c. permits the Manville Trust to produce data and documents in an
anonymized format or, alternatively, bars Debtors from sharing personallyidentifiable claimant information with third-parties or disclosing such
information in any court filing or other public disclosure; and
d. requires Debtors to compensate the Manville Trust for all costs it incurs in
connection with complying with the modified subpoena, including the costof redacting personally identifiable information from all medical and other
records produced by the Manville Trust.

SUPPLEMENTAL DECLARATION OF JARED S. GARELICK
JARED S. GARELICK, under penalty of perjury, declares:
1. I am the General Counsel of non-party Manville Personal Injury
Settlement Trust (the “Manville Trust”). I make this declaration to supplement my original
declaration, executed on June 3, 2015, which was filed in support of the objection (the
“Objection”) of the Manville Trust to the Motion of the Debtors for Leave to Serve Subpoena on
Manville Trust (Docket No. 4599), in support of the Sur-Reply of the Manville Trust to Debtors’
Motion for Leave to Serve Subpoena (the “Sur-Reply”), and to make part of the record an
additional document referenced in the Manville Trust’s Sur-Reply. I am fully familiar with the
facts set forth herein.
2.
A Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”), presently comprised of four
members, makes all final decisions on behalf of the Manville Trust, including with respect to the
positions the Manville Trust will take in responding to subpoenas issued in connection with mass

litigations that call for the production of claims data extracts and related files for tens of
thousands of Manville Trust claimants.
3. The Trustees make such determinations based on what they determine to
be in the best interests of the Manville Trust and its beneficiaries. As a governance matter, the
Trustees routinely consult with the Selected Counsel of the Beneficiaries (“SCB”), a group that
includes law firms and attorneys representing the interests of asbestos claimants in the above-
captioned action and/or other actions. Although the Trustees are required to consult with the
SCB, they have a fiduciary obligation to consider the views of all Trust beneficiaries as part of
their independent decision-making process. Ultimately, the Trustees, not the SCB or its counsel,
are responsible for making decisions on behalf of the Manville Trust.
4. In this action, the Trustees, not the SCB or its counsel, determined that the
Manville Trust should file its Objection after independently concluding that doing so was in the
best interests of the Manville Trust and its beneficiaries. Because one of the Trustees, Dr. Mark
Peterson, serves as an expert for the Official Committee of Asbestos Personal Injury Claimants
in these proceedings, he recused himself from, and did not participate in, the Trustees’ decision
to file the Objection.
5. I understand that Debtors assert that, in filing its Objection, the Manville
Trust is treating them “differently” than other co-defendants. Debtors’ assertion is incorrect.
When it receives mass subpoenas seeking data extracts for tens of thousands of claimants, the
Manville Trust has historically succeeded in negotiating strict limits on the scope of disclosure
and on the use of any produced data, particularly personally identifiable claimant information.
The Manville Trust has insisted on such restrictions both to protect the privacy interests of

Manville Trust claimants and to safeguard the value of its database, which the Manville Trust has
compiled and maintained at its own expense, as a trust asset.
6. The Manville Trust has successfully taken this approach over many years,
in various fora, and it has been aided in its efforts by the willingness of the parties seeking
disclosure to craft reasonable limits on the scope of the Manville Trust’s productions and on the
use and disclosure of information produced by the Manville Trust.
7. Courts have also been receptive to requiring asbestos defendants to use
anonymized claimant data when estimating their liabilities. For example, in In re Motors
Liquidation Co., Ch. 11 Case No. 09-50026 (REG) (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Oct. 22, 2010) (Dkt. No.
7526), the Hon. Robert E. Gerber required the creation of an anonymized claims database to be
used for estimation purposes. A true and correct copy of Judge Gerber’s Order Concerning
ACC’s Request for an Anonymity Protocol is annexed hereto as Exhibit A.
8. I understand that Debtors seek to compel the Manville Trust to disclose
claims data for 91,000-plus Manville claimants – approximately 10 percent of the claims files
maintained by the Manville Trust – free of most use and disclosure restrictions and without
anonymizing such data. Producing such information in the format sought by Debtors, and
subject to the permissive protective order urged by Debtors, could materially diminish the value
of the database as a trust asset while conferring a windfall on claims estimation experts, who
would obtain unrestricted access to a sizeable volume of Manville Trust data free of charge.
9.
I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.

ORDER CONCERNING ACC’S REQUESTFOR AN ANONYMITY PROTOCOL
On August 24, 2010, the Court entered an Order (the “UCC 2004 Order”) [Dkt.
No. 6749], pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2004, granting the Motion (the “UCC 2004 Motion”)
[Dkt. No. 6383] of the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Motors Liquidation
Company (the “Creditors’ Committee”) for an Order authorizing the Creditors’ Committee,
among other things, to obtain certain discovery from (i) the Delaware Claims Processing Facility
and Claims Resolution Management Corporation (the “Claims Processing Facilities”) and
(ii) the Armstrong World Industries, Inc., Asbestos Personal Injury Settlement Trust, the
Babcock & Wilcox Company Asbestos Personal Injury Settlement Trust, the Owens
Corning/Fibreboard Asbestos Personal Injury Trust, the DII Industries, LLC Asbestos PI Trust,
the United States Gypsum Asbestos Personal Injury Settlement Trust and the Manville Personal
Injury Settlement Trust (collectively, the “Trusts”).
The UCC 2004 Order required, before service of the Subpoenas1 by the Creditors’
Committee on the Claims Processing Facilities and Trusts, the parties, including the Official
1 Terms not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the UCC 2004 Order.

2KL2 2671736.2
Committee of Unsecured Creditors Holding Asbestos-Related Claims (the “ACC”), to attempt to
reach agreement on the terms of a protocol (an “Anonymity Protocol”) that would enable the
Creditors’ Committee to obtain the information it seeks from the Claims Processing Facilities
and/or the Trusts in a form that maintains the anonymity of the claimants whose data is
produced, while at the same time enabling the Creditors’ Committee and other parties to a
potential contested estimation hearing in these cases to make use of such information in the
manner described in the UCC 2004 Motion and at the August 9, 2010 hearing on the UCC 2004
Motion.
The UCC 2004 Order provided that any party was authorized to notify the Court
in the event an Anonymity Protocol had been proposed and, in the party’s view, the Creditors’
Committee had unreasonably refused to agree to its terms, and, in the event of such notification,
the Creditors’ Committee was not to issue any subpoenas to the Claims Processing Facilities or
Trusts pending further direction from the Court.
On September 14, 2010, the ACC filed a notice with the Court in which it
asserted that the Creditors’ Committee had unreasonably refused to agree to the terms of its
proposed Anonymity Protocol, and the parties subsequently filed written submissions with the
Court regarding that proposed Anonymity Protocol.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Court having reviewed and considered the various
submissions of the parties regarding the ACC’s proposed Anonymity Protocol and the record at
the hearing of October 21, 2010, and the Court having found that it has jurisdiction over this
matter pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 157 and 1334, that this is a core proceeding pursuant to 28
U.S.C. § 157(b)(2), and that notice of the briefing schedule and hearing on an Anonymity

Protocol were appropriate and no further notice thereof is necessary, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED
THAT:
1. The ACC’s request that the Court order the implementation of its
proposed Anonymity Protocol is denied in part and granted in part on the terms and conditions
set forth below. Subject to this Order, the Creditors’ Committee is authorized to issue the
Subpoenas forthwith.
2. In producing the Trust Information, the Claims Processing Facilities and
the Trusts shall be permitted to redact or otherwise withhold the following fields (in addition to
those data fields that may be withheld pursuant to the UCC 2004 Order): (a) claimant address,
phone, fax and email (except state); (b) personal representative name, Social Security Number
(“SSN”), address, phone, fax and email; (c) occupationally exposed person address, phone, fax
and email (except state); (d) dependent name (except number of dependents); (e) dependent date
of birth (except year); (f) attorney address; and (g) contact name, address, phone, fax and email.
3. Each of the claims estimation experts retained in these cases – namely,
Bates White LLC, Legal Analysis Systems, Inc., Analysis, Research and Planning Corporation,
and Hamilton, Rabinovitz & Associates, Inc. (each an “Expert”) – shall use the names and
Social Security Numbers of the Mesothelioma Claimants only for the following purposes
(“Permitted Matching Purposes”): (i) matching and combining the Trust Information, on a
claimant-by-claimant basis, with data from General Motors LLC or other sources, (ii) verifying
the accuracy of other Experts’ matching of such data, and (iii) defending challenges to the
accuracy of the Expert’s matching of such data. To enforce this limitation, each Expert shall be
subject to the data security restrictions set forth in this Order and such additional restrictions as

may be agreed upon by the parties to the asbestos estimation proceeding in this case (namely, the
ACC, the FCR, the Debtors and the UCC), the Trusts, and the Claims Processing Facilities.
a. A defined period of time shall be provided for matching and
combining the data as described in paragraph 3 above (the “Matching Period”), as follows:
(i) Within 2 weeks of the production of the Trust Information,
the Experts shall exchange (a) a list of claimants (identified by
their unique identifiers within the data produced by GM, but not
name or Social Security Number) that each Expert believes is the
unique set of Mesothelioma Claimants, and (b) for each unique
claimant, a list of the Trusts’ records to which the Expert believes
the claimant matches.
(ii) Following the exchange of such lists, the Experts and
counsel to the parties shall make a good faith effort to reconcile
their views concerning the exchanged lists. As part of these
efforts, each Expert shall promptly provide the other Experts and
counsel to the parties with any additional data relied upon for his
or her position with respect to any disagreement concerning the
exchanged lists.
(iii) By no later than 4 weeks after the production of the Trust
Information, the Experts shall collectively determine the extent of
their agreement and disagreement on these lists.
(iv) Within 6 weeks of the production of the Trust Information,
the Experts will exchange reports.

b. The results of each Expert’s matching (the “Matched Data”) shall
be isolated from the original sources from which they are derived and may be preserved only in a
new, discrete database. At the conclusion of the Matching Period, each Expert may assign a
unique numeric identifier to each claimant included in his or her Matched Data and create a
separate file (a “Linked IDs File”) that will link these identifiers to the identifiers of each dataset
that was incorporated into the Matched Data. Subsequently, each Expert shall delete the
following fields from the Matched Data:
