# §586.114. How will data and information obtained by BOEM under this part be disclosed to the public?

- (a) BOEM will make data and information available in accordance with the requirements and subject to the limitations of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) ([5 U.S.C. 552](/usc/5/552.md)) and the regulations contained in [43 CFR part 2](/cfr/43/part2.md).
- (b) BOEM will not release such data and information that we have determined is exempt from disclosure under exemption 4 of FOIA. We will review such data and information and objections of the submitter to determine whether release at that time will result in substantial competitive harm or disclosure of trade secrets.
- (c) After considering any objections from the submitter, if we determine that release of such data and information will result in:
  - (1) No substantial competitive harm or disclosure of trade secrets, then the data and information will be released.
  - (2) Substantial competitive harm or disclosure of trade secrets, then the data and information will not be released at that time but will be subject to further review every 3 years thereafter.
