Sec.  2004.27  Restrictions that apply to released records.

    (a) The Counsel may impose conditions or restrictions on the release 
of official records and information, including the requirement that 
parties to the proceeding obtain a protective order or execute a 
confidentiality agreement to limit access and any further disclosure. 
The terms of the protective order or of a confidentiality agreement must 
be acceptable to the Counsel. In cases where protective orders or 
confidentiality agreements have already been executed, OIG may condition 
the release of official records and information on an amendment to the 
existing protective order or confidentiality agreement.
    (b) If the Counsel so determines, original OIG records may be 
presented for examination in response to a demand or request, but they 
are not to be presented as evidence or otherwise used in a manner by 
which they could lose their identity as official OIG records, nor are 
they to be marked or altered. In lieu of the original records, certified 
copies will be presented for evidentiary purposes.
