Grounds on which meetings may be closed or information withheld.

CFR · 2024-01-01 · US · Title 6

A meeting, or portion thereof, may be closed and information pertinent to such meeting withheld if the Board determines that the meeting or release of information is likely to disclose matters that are: (a) Specifically authorized under criteria established by an executive order to be kept secret in the interests of national defense or foreign policy; and, in fact, are properly classified pursuant to such executive order. In making the determination that this exemption applies, the Board shall rely on the classification assigned to the document or assigned to the information from the federal agency from which the document was received. (b) Related solely to the internal personnel rules and practices of the Board; (c) Specifically exempt from disclosure by statute (other than 5 U.S.C. 552), provided that such statute: (1) Requires that the matters be withheld from the public in such a manner as to leave no discretion on the issue; or (2) Establishes particular criteria for withholding or refers to particular types of matters to be withheld; (d) Trade secrets and commercial or financial information obtained from a person and privileged or confidential; (e) Involved with accusing any person of a crime or formally censuring any person; (f) Of a personal nature, if disclosure would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy; (g) Either investigatory records compiled for law enforcement purposes or information which, if written, would be contained in such records
