Full text
(a) Presumption of openness. The Agency will withhold information only if the Chief FOIA Officer reasonably foresees that disclosure would harm an interest protected by a FOIA exemption or if disclosure is prohibited by law.
(b) Authority to release and withhold records. As described in § 1662.9, the Agency's Chief FOIA Officer has the authority to:
(1) Release or withhold records in response to initial requests;
(2) Grant or deny expedited processing; and
(3) Reduce or waive fees.
(c) Records publicly available. The Agency makes available for public inspection, in an electronic format, records that have been requested and released three or more times and other specified records described in § 1662.26.
(d) Required record production. The FOIA does not require an Agency to give opinions, conduct research, answer questions, or create records.
