(a)
Officers and employees of the Department may, in response to requests, orally
provide information contained in records of the Department that are determined to be

records, a written request and the payment of the fee for a record search set forth
in § 1.6 will be required.
(b)
Information with respect to activities of the Department not a matter of record
shall not be disclosed if the information involves matters exempt from disclosure
under 5 U.S.C. 552 or the regulations in this part, or if the disclosure of such
information would give the person requesting the information advantages not accorded
to other citizens.
