                 Subpart C_Release and Denial of Records

 

Sec.  5.32  Release of records.



    (a) Records previously released. If we have released a record, or a 

part of a record, to others in the past, we will ordinarily release it 

to you also. However, we will not release it to you if a statute forbids 

this disclosure, and we will not necessarily release it to you if an 

exemption applies in your situation and did not apply, or applied 

differently, in the previous situations.

    (b) Unauthorized disclosure. The principle stated in paragraph (a) 

of this section, does not apply if the previous release was 

unauthorized.

    (c) Poor copy. If we cannot make a legible copy of a record to be 

released, we do not attempt to reconstruct it. Instead, we furnish the 

best copy possible and note its poor quality in our reply.
