§ 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 § 0.460.
(b) Records which are not routinely available for public inspection. Records
which are not listed in § 0.453 or § 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 § 0.457 and of particular records withheld from public inspection under
§ 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 that are not listed in § 0.453,
§ 0.455, or § 0.457 and have not been withheld from inspection under § 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 individualized determination is required.
(3) Procedures governing requests for inspection of these records are set
forth in § 0.461.
(4) Procedures governing demands by competent authority for inspection of
these records are set forth in § 0.463.
(5) Except as provided in § 0.461 and § 0.463, or pursuant to § 19.735-203 of
this chapter, no officer or employee of the Commission shall permit the
inspection of records which are not routinely available for public
inspection under § 0.453 or § 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 § 0.453 and
§ 0.455 and those which are made available for inspection under § 0.461.
Sections 0.467 and 0.465(c)(3) apply to requests for certified copies of
Commission records.
(d) Search and copying fees. Section 0.465(c)(2) prescribes the per page fee
for copying records made available for inspection under § 0.460 or § 0.461.
Section 0.466 prescribes fees to cover the expense of searching for and
reviewing records made available for inspection under § 0.460 or § 0.461.
Review of initial fee determinations under § 0.467 through § 0.470 and initial
fee reduction or waiver determinations under § 0.470(e) may be sought under
§ 0.461(j).
Note to paragraph (d): The Commission may require advance payment pursuant
to § 0.469 before releasing documents.
