Sec. 861.7  Disclosure of voluntarily provided safety-related information.

    (a) General. In accordance with paragraph (h) of the reference in 
Sec. 861.1 (a), DOD may withhold from public disclosure safety-related 
information voluntarily provided to DOD by an air carrier for the 
purposes of this Part if DOD determines that--
    (1) The disclosure of the information would, in the future, inhibit 
an air carrier from voluntarily providing such information to DOD or 
another Federal agency for the purposes of this Part or for other air 
safety purposes; and
    (2) The receipt of such information generally enhances the 
fulfillment of responsibilities under this Part or other air safety 
responsibilities involving DOD or another Federal agency.
    (b) Processing requests for disclosure of voluntarily provided 
safety-related information. Requests for public disclosure will be 
administratively processed in accordance with 32 CFR Part 806, Air Force 
Freedom of Information Act Program.
    (c) Disclosure of voluntarily provided safety-related information to 
other agencies. The Department of Defense may, at its discretion, 
disclose voluntarily provided safety-related information submitted under 
this Part by an air carrier, to other agencies with safety 
responsibilities. The DOD will provide such information to another 
agency only upon receipt of adequate assurances that it will protect the 
information from public disclosure, and that it will not release such 
information unless specifically authorized.
