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.
