    Any record of the Food and Drug Administration that is disclosed in 
an authorized manner to any member of the public is available for 
disclosure to all members of the public, except that:
    (a) Data and information subject to the exemptions established in 
Sec.  20.61 for trade secrets and confidential commercial or financial 
information, and in Sec.  20.63 for personal privacy, shall be disclosed 
only to the persons for the protection of whom these exemptions exist.
    (b) The limited disclosure of records permitted in Sec.  7.87(c) of 
this chapter for section 305 hearing records, in Sec.  20.80(b) 
regarding certain limitations on exemptions, in Sec.  20.103(b) for 
certain correspondence, and in Sec.  20.104(b) for certain summaries of 
oral discussions, shall be subject to the special rules stated therein.
    (c) Disclosure of a record about an individual, as defined in Sec.  
21.3(a) of this chapter, that is retrieved by the individual's name or 
other personal identifier and is contained in a Privacy Act Record 
System, as defined in Sec.  21.3(c) of this chapter, shall be subject to

a record to an individual who is the subject of the record does not 
invoke the rule established in this section that such records shall be 
made available for disclosure to all members of the public.
