Disclosure of Confidential Supervisory Information

Section 190.740  Disclosure of Confidential Supervisory Information a)         Conditions and Limitations.  The Secretary may impose any conditions and limitations on the disclosure of confidential supervisory information that are necessary to protect the confidentiality of such information.  Except as authorized by the Secretary, no person obtaining access, whether physically or electronically, to confidential supervisory information under this Subpart may further disseminate the confidential supervisory information. b)         Restrictions on Dissemination of Confidential Supervisory Information.  The Secretary may condition a decision to disclose confidential supervisory information on entry of a protective order by the court or administrative tribunal presiding in the particular case or on a written agreement of confidentiality.  In a case in which a protective order or agreement has already been entered between parties other than the Secretary, the Secretary may nevertheless condition approval for release of confidential supervisory information upon the inclusion of additional or amended provisions in the protective order.  The Secretary may authorize a party who obtained the records for use in one case to provide them to another party in another case, subject to any conditions that the Secretary may impose on either or both parties. c)         Notification of Parties and Procedures for Sharing and Using Confidential Supervisory Information in Litigation.  The requester shall promptly notify other parties to a case of the release of confidential supervisory information obtained pursuant to this Subpart and, upon entry of a protective order, shall provide copies of confidential supervisory information to the other parties.
