3015.25—Restrictions to public access.
Unless required by law, no awarding agency shall impose grant or subgrant conditions which limit public access to records covered by this subpart, except when the awarding agency determines that such records must be kept confidential and would have been excepted from disclosure pursuant to USDA's “Freedom of Information” regulations if the records had belonged to USDA ( 7 CFR 1.1-1.16).
