Sec.  1601.2  Applicability.



    (a) General. The FOIA and the regulations in this part apply to all 

CSB documents and information. However, if another law sets specific 

procedures for disclosure, the CSB will process a request in accordance 

with the procedures that apply to those specific documents. If a request 

is received for disclosure of a document to the public which is not 

required to be released under those provisions, the CSB will consider 

the request under the FOIA and the regulations in this part.

    (b) Records available through routine distribution procedures. When 

the record requested includes material published and offered for sale, 

e.g., by the Superintendent of Documents of the Government Printing 

Office, or by an authorized private distributor, the CSB will first 

refer the requester to those sources. Nevertheless, if the requester is 

not satisfied with the alternative

sources, the CSB will process the request under the FOIA.
