(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.
