Sec. 0.451 Inspection of records: Generally.
(a) Records which are routinely available for public inspection. Sections
0.453 and 0.455 list those Commission records which are routinely available
for public inspection and the places at which those records may be
inspected. Procedures governing requests for inspection of such records are
set out in Sec. 0.460.
(b) Records which are not routinely available for public inspection. Records
which are not listed in Sec. 0.453 or Sec. 0.455 are not routinely available for
public inspection. Such records fall into two categories.
(1) The first category consists of those records or kinds of records listed
in Sec. 0.457 and of particular records withheld from public inspection under
Sec. 0.459. The Commission has determined that there is a statutory basis for
withholding these records from public inspection. In some cases, the
Commission is prohibited from permitting the inspection of records. In other
cases, the records are the property of another agency, and the Commission
has no authority to permit their inspection. In still other cases, the
Commission is authorized, for reason of policy, to withhold records from
inspection, but is not required to do so.
(2) The second category consists of records which are not listed in Sec. 0.453,
Sec. 0.455, or Sec. 0.457 and have not been withheld from inspection under Sec. 0.459.
In some cases, these records have not been identified for listing. In other
cases (e.g., the general correspondence files), the Commission is unable to
determine either that all records in a class should be routinely available
for inspection or that all records in that class should not be routinely
available for inspection, and individual determination is required.
(3) Procedures governing requests for inspection of these records are set
out in Sec. 0.461.
(4) Procedures governing demands by competent authority for inspection of
these records are set out in Sec. 0.463.
(5) Except as provided in Sec. Sec. 0.461 and 0.463, no officer or employee of the
Commission shall permit the inspection of records which are not routinely
available for public inspection under Sec. 0.453 or Sec. 0.455, or disclose
information contained therein.
(c) Copies. Section 0.465 applies to requests for copies of Commission
records which are routinely available for public inspection under Sec. Sec. 0.453
and 0.455 and those which are made available for inspection under Sec. 0.461.
Section 0.467 applies to requests for certified copies of Commission
records.
(d) Search fees. Section 0.466 prescribes fees to cover the expense of
searching for records made available for inspection under Sec. 0.460 or Sec. 0.461.
