Subpart C—Availability of Information for Public Inspection and Copying

§ 212.21   Public records.

In accordance with this subpart, USAID makes the following information and materials available for public inspection and copying:

(a) All final opinions (including concurring and dissenting options), and all orders made in the adjudication of the cases:

(b) those statements of policy and interpretations which have been adopted by the Agency and are not published in the Federal Register; and

(c) Administrative staff manuals and instructions to staff that affect any member of the public.

§ 212.22   Protection of personal privacy.

To the extent required to prevent a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy, USAID may delete identifying details when USAID makes available or publishes an opinion, statement of policy, interpretation, or staff manual or instruction. USAID will, in each such case, explain in writing the justification for the deletion.

§ 212.23   Current index.

USAID maintains and makes available for public inspection and copying a current index providing identifying information for the public as to any matter which has been issued, adopted, or promulgated after July 4, 1967, and which is required by §212.21 to be made available or published. Publication of an index is deemed both unnecessary and impractical. However, copies of the index are available, upon request, for a fee based on the direct cost of duplication.

§ 212.24   Effect of noncompliance.

No final order, opinion, statement of policy, interpretation, or staff manual or instruction that affects any member of the public will be relied upon, used, or cited as precedent by USAID against any private party unless it has been indexed and either made available or published as provided by this subpart, or unless that private party shall have actual and timely notice of the terms thereof.

§ 212.25   Procedures for obtaining materials under this subpart.

(a) The materials required to be made available for public inspection and copying in accordance with this subpart are available to members of the public at USAID's Public Reading Room, Room 1113, 1621 North Kent Street, Rosslyn, Virginia 22209, which is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except on holidays. All such materials are available in electronic form (disks) only; to a reasonable degree, assistance will be provided in use of necessary equipment.

(b) Requests for materials which are available under this subpart should follow the procedures under §212.33(a) of this part.

(c) The direct costs of any necessary duplication will be charged in accordance with the fee schedule set forth in §212.35.

(d) USAID Missions and offices in countries abroad are not responsible for the maintenance of the index and materials available under this subpart. However, insofar as they do have these materials, they will make them available to citizens of the United States who are present in their respective countries upon application made either or in person in writing to the USAID Director, or other principal USAID officer, c/o American Embassy in the applicable country.
