                            TITLE 25--INDIANS
 
     CHAPTER I--BUREAU OF INDIAN AFFAIRS, DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
 
PART 150_LAND RECORDS AND TITLE DOCUMENTS--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 150.11  Disclosure of land records, title documents, and title reports.

    (a) The usefulness of a Land Titles and Records Office depends in 
large measure on the ability of the public to consult the records 
contained therein. It is therefore, the policy of the Bureau of Indian 
Affairs to allow access to land records and title documents unless such 
access would violate the Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C. 552a or other law 
restricting access to such records, or there are strong policy grounds 
for denying access where such access is not required by the Freedom of 
Information Act, 5 U.S.C. 552. It shall be the policy of the Bureau of 
Indian Affairs that, unless specifically authorized, monetary 
considerations will not be disclosed insofar as leases of tribal land 
are concerned.
    (b) Before disclosing information concerning any living individual, 
the Manager, Land Titles and Records Office, shall consult 5 U.S.C. 
552a(b) and the notice of routine users then in effect to determine 
whether the information may be released without the written consent of 
the person to whom it pertains.
