    The provisions of this part shall govern informal nonpublic 

investigations, as distinguished from formal investigations and 

adjudicatory proceedings, undertaken by the Office of the Assistant 

General Counsel for Aviation Enforcement and Proceedings with a view to 

obtaining information from any person. While the Department seeks and 

encourages voluntary cooperation and believes that it is in the best 

interest of all parties concerned, it will utilize the procedures 

provided by this part to compel the disclosure of information by any 

person where DOT wishes to determine whether such person, or any other 

person, has been or is violating any provisions of Title IV or sections 

101(3), 1002, 1003, or 1108(b) of the Act, or any rule, regulation, 

order, certificate, permit, or letter or registration issued pursuant 

thereto by DOT and when the information appears to be relevant to the 

matter under investigation. This part shall not apply to employees or 

records of other agencies of the U.S. Government, the District of 

Columbia, or the several States and their political subdivisions.
