Sec. 1601.21  Responses to requests.

    (a) Response to initial request. The FOIA Officer is authorized to 
grant or deny any request for a record and to determine appropriate 
fees.
    (b) Referral to another agency. When a requester seeks records that 
originated in another Federal government agency, the CSB will refer the 
request to the other agency for response. If the CSB refers the request 
to another agency, it will notify the requester of the referral. A 
request for any records classified by some other agency will be referred 
to that agency for response.
    (c) Creating records. If a person seeks information from the CSB in 
a format that does not currently exist, the CSB will make reasonable 
efforts to provide the information in the format requested. The CSB will 
not create a new record of information to satisfy a request.
    (d) No responsive record. If no records are responsive to the 
request, the FOIA Officer will so notify the requester in writing.
