                        TITLE 49--TRANSPORTATION
 
          Subtitle A--Office of the Secretary of Transportation
 
PART 7_PUBLIC AVAILABILITY OF INFORMATION--Table of Contents
 
         Subpart B_Information Required To Be Made Public by DOT
 
Sec.  7.7  Access to materials and indices.

    (a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this section, material 
listed in Sec.  7.5 will be made available for inspection and copying to 
any member of the public at DOT document inspection facilities. It has 
been determined that it is unnecessary and impracticable to publish the 
index of materials in the Federal Register. Information as to the kinds 
of materials available at each facility may be obtained from the 
facility or the headquarters of the DOT component of which it is a part.
    (b) The material listed in Sec.  7.5 that is published and offered 
for sale will be indexed, but is not required to be kept available for 
public inspection. Whenever practicable, however, it will be made 
available for public inspection at the appropriate DOT reading room.
    (c) Each DOT component will also make the reading room records 
identified in section 7.5(a) that are created by DOT on or after 
November 1, 1996, available electronically. This includes indices of its 
reading room records as required by law after December 1, 1999.
