Code of Federal Regulations

This exemption applies only to the extent that information in this system is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(k) .

(b) Exemptions from the particular subsections are justified for the following reasons:

(1) From subsections (d) (2), (3) and (4) because the decisions reflected constitute official records of opinions rendered in quasi-judicial proceedings. Administrative due process could not be achieved by the ex parte “correction” of such opinions by the subject of the opinion.
