  CHAPTER I--UNITED STATES CUSTOMS SERVICE, DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY
 
PART 103--AVAILABILITY OF INFORMATION--Table of Contents
 
 Subpart A--Production of Documents/Disclosure of Information Under the 
                                  FOIA
 
Sec. 103.2  Information available to the public.

    (a) General. The Freedom of Information Act, as amended (5 U.S.C. 
552), provides for access to information and records developed or 
maintained by Fedral agencies. Subject only to the exemptions set forth 
in Sec. 103.12, the public generally or any individual member is 
entitled to information or records which are described in paragraph (b) 
of this section and which are in the possession of the United States 
Customs Service. Access to that information is governed by the 
regulations in this part.
    (b) Three categories of information available. Generally, 5 U.S.C. 
552 divides agency information into three major categories and provides 
methods by which each category is available to the public. The three 
major categories, for which the disclosure requirements of the United 
States Customs Service are set forth in this part, are as follows:
    (1) Information required to be published in the Federal Register 
(see Sec. 103.3).
    (2) Information required to be made available for public inspection 
and copying or, in the alternative, to be published and offered for sale 
(see Sec. 103.4).
    (3) Information required to be made available to any member of the 
public upon specific request (see Sec. 103.5).
