PART 193--PROTECTION OF VOLUNTARILY SUBMITTED INFORMATION--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 193.9  Will the FAA ever disclose information that is designated as protected under this part?

    The FAA discloses information that is designated as protected under 
this part when withholding it would not be consistent with the FAA's 
safety and security responsibilities, as follows:
    (a) Disclosure in all programs. (1) The FAA may disclose de-
identified, summarized information submitted under this part to explain 
the need for changes in policies and regulations. An example is the FAA 
publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking based on your information, 
and including a de-identified, summarized version of your information 
(and the information from other persons, if applicable) to explain the 
need for the notice of proposed rulemaking.
    (2) The FAA may disclose information provided under this part to 
correct a condition that compromises safety or security, if that 
condition continues uncorrected.
    (3) The FAA may disclose information provided under this part to 
carry out a criminal investigation or prosecution.
    (4) The FAA may disclose information provided under this part to 
comply with 49 U.S.C. 44905, regarding information about threats to 
civil aviation.
    (b) Additional disclosures. For each program, the FAA may find that 
there are additional circumstances under which withholding information 
provided under this part would not be consistent with the FAA's safety 
and security responsibilities. Those circumstances are described in the 
designation for that program.
