(a) Any part of any administrative
ruling, including names, addresses, or information related to the
business transactions of private parties, may be disclosed pursuant
to a request under the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. 552. If
the request for an administrative ruling contains information which
the requestor wishes to be considered for exemption from disclosure
under the Freedom of Information Act, the requestor should clearly
identify such portions of the request and the reasons why such information
should be exempt from disclosure.
(b) A requestor
claiming an exemption from disclosure will be notified, at least 10
days before the administrative ruling is issued, of a decision not
to exempt any of such information from disclosure so that the underlying
request for an administrative ruling can be withdrawn if the requestor
so chooses.
