Title 14 - Aeronautics and Space
(a) Records required to be published in the (1) Description of NASA Headquarters and NASA Centers and the established places at which, the employees from whom, and the methods whereby, the public may secure information, make submittals or requests, or obtain decisions; (2) Statements of the general course and method by which NASA's functions are channeled and determined, including the nature and requirements of all formal and informal procedures available; (3) Rules of procedure, descriptions of forms available or the places at which forms may be obtained, and instructions regarding the scope and contents of all papers, reports, or examinations; (4) Substantive rules of general applicability adopted as authorized by law, and statements of general policy or interpretations of general applicability formulated and adopted by NASA; (5) Each amendment, revision, or repeal of the foregoing. (b) Agency opinions, orders, statements, and manuals. (1) Unless they are exempt from disclosure under Subpart 3 of this part, or unless they are promptly published and copies offered for sale, NASA shall make available the following records for public inspection and copying or purchase: (i) All final opinions (including concurring and dissenting opinions) and all orders made in the adjudication of cases; (ii) Those statements of NASA policy and interpretations which have been adopted by NASA and are not published in the (iii) Administrative staff manuals (or similar issuances) and instructions to staff that affect a member of the public; (iv) Copies of all records, regardless of form or format, which have been released to any person under subpart 6 herein and which, because of the nature of their subject matter, the Agency determines have become or are likely to become the subject of subsequent requests for substantially the same records. (v) A general index of records referred to under paragraph (b)(1)(iv) of this section. (2) (i) For records created after November 1, 1997, which are covered by paragraph (b)(l)(i) through (b)(l)(v) of this section, such records shall be available electronically, through an electronic reading room and in electronic forms or formats. (ii) In connection with all records required to be made available or published under this paragraph (b), identifying details shall be deleted to the extent required to prevent a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy. However, in each case the justification for the deletion shall be explained fully in writing. The extent of such deletion shall be indicated on the portion of the record which is made available or published, unless including that indication would harm an interest protected by an exemption in Subpart 3. If technically feasible, the extent of the deletion shall be indicated at the place in the record where the deletion is made. (c) Other Agency records. (1) In addition to the records made available or published under paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section, NASA shall, upon request for other records made in accordance with this part, make such records promptly available to any person, unless they are exempt from disclosure under Subpart 3 of this part, or unless they may be purchased from other readily available sources, as provided in §1206.201. (2) Furthermore, at a minimum, NASA will maintain in its electronic reading room records created after November 1, 1997, under paragraphs (b)(1)(iv) and (v) and a guide for requesting records or information from NASA. Such guide shall include all NASA major information systems, a description of major information and record locator systems, and a handbook for obtaining various types and categories of NASA public information through the FOIA. Publication in the If a record requested by a member of the public contains both information required to be made available and that which is exempt from disclosure under Subpart 3 of this part, and the portion of the records that is required to be made available is reasonably segregable from the portion that is exempt, the portion that is exempt from disclosure shall be deleted and the balance of the record shall be made available to the requester. If the nonexempt portion of the record appears to be unintelligible or uninformative, the requester shall be informed of that fact, and such nonexempt portion shall not be sent to the requester unless thereafter specifically requested. If technically feasible, the amount of information deleted shall be indicated on the released portion of the record, unless including that indication would harm an interest protected by the exemption in Subpart 3 under which the deletion is made. Records will not be created by compiling selected items from the files at the request of a member of the public, nor will records be created to provide the requester with such data as ratios, proportions, percentages, frequency distributions, trends, correlations, or comparisons. If a NASA record is requested and another agency has a substantial interest in the record, such an agency shall be consulted on whether the record shall be made available under this part (see §1206.101(f)(3)). If a record is requested that is a record of another agency, the request shall be returned to the requester, as provided in §1206.604(c) unless NASA has possession and control of the record requested. Records reasonably available to the members of the public affected thereby, shall be deemed published in the Except as provided in §1206.201, the availability of a record for inspection shall include the opportunity to extract information therefrom or to purchase copies. The furnishing of a single copy of the requested record will constitute compliance with this part. If a record which has been requested is exempt from disclosure under Subpart 3 of this part, the record may nevertheless be made available under the procedures of Subpart 6 of this part if it is determined by an official authorized to make either an initial determination or a final determination that such action would not be inconsistent with a purpose of the exemptions set forth in Subpart 3 of this part.
