with a request for exemption from disclosure under 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4) is 
entitled to be withheld until a request for production or disclosure is 
made for that information. The determination will be based on the most 
authoritative judicial interpretations available at the time a request 
for disclosure or production is considered. Any reasonably segregable 
portion of a record will be disclosed to any person requesting such 
record after deletion of any portions determined to be exempt under 5 
U.S.C. 552(b)(4). The requester will be given a brief description of any 
information found to be exempt.
    (b) If material received with a request for exemption from 
disclosure under 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4) is found to be disclosable, in whole 
or in part, the person submitting the material will be notified in 
writing and given 10 calendar days from the receipt of the letter to 
seek judicial relief. In no event, however, will the material be 
returned to the person submitting it.
