Sec. 701.17  Affirmative information disclosure.

    This is where a DON activity makes records available to the public 
on its own initiative. In such instance, the DON activity has determined 
in advance that a certain type of records or information is likely to be 
of such interest to members of the public, and that it can be disclosed 
without concern for any FOIA exemption sensitivity. Affirmative 
disclosures can be of mutual benefit to both the DON and the members of 
the public who are interested in obtaining access to such information.
