                      Subpart B_Obtaining a Record

 

Sec.  5.23  Referral of requests outside the Department.



    If you request records that were created by, or provided to us by, 

another Federal agency, and if that agency asserts control over the 

records, we may refer the records and your request to that agency. We 

may likewise refer requests for classified records to the agency that 

classified them. In these cases, the other agency will process and 

respond to your request, to the extent it concerns those records, under 

that agency's regulation, and you need not make a separate request to 

that agency. We will notify you when we refer your request to another 

agency.
