Sec. 293.311  Availability of information.

    (a) The following information from both the OPF and employee 
performance file system folders, their automated equivalent records, and 
from other personnel record files that constitute an agency record 
within the meaning of the FOIA and which are under the control of the 
Office, about most present and former Federal employees, is available to 
the public:
    (1) Name;
    (2) Present and past position titles and occupational series;
    (3) Present and past grades;
    (4) Present and past annual salary rates (including performance 
awards or bonuses, incentive awards, merit pay amount, Meritorious or 
Distinguished Executive Ranks, and allowances and differentials);
    (5) Present and past duty stations (includes room numbers, shop 
designations, or other identifying information

regarding buildings or places of employment); and
    (6) Position descriptions, identification of job elements, and those 
performance standards (but not actual performance appraisals) that the 
release of which would not interfere with law enforcement programs or 
severely inhibit agency effectiveness. Performance elements and 
standards (or work expectations) may be withheld when they are so 
interwined with performance appraisals that their disclosure would 
reveal an individual's performance appraisal.
    (b) The Office or agency will generally not disclose information 
where the data sought is a list of names, present or past position 
titles, grades, salaries, performance standards, and/or duty stations of 
Federal employees which, as determined by the official responsible for 
custody of the information:
    (1) Is selected in such a way that would reveal more about the 
employee on whom information is sought than the six enumerated items, 
the disclosure of which would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion 
of personal privacy; or
    (2) Would otherwise be protected from mandatory disclosure under an 
exemption of the FOIA.
    (c) In addition to the information described in paragraph (a) of 
this section, a Government official may provide other information from 
these records (or automated equivalents) of an employee, to others 
outside of the agency, under a summons, warrant, subpoena, or other 
legal process; as provided by the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(4) 
through (b)(11)), under those Privacy Act routine uses promulgated by 
the Office, and as required by the FOIA.
