The Postal Service may claim that information that would be exempt from disclosure pursuant to 39 U.S.C. [410(c)](/usc/39/410.md?p=c), [504(g)](/usc/39/504.md?p=g), [3652(f)](/usc/39/3652.md?p=f), or [3654(f)](/usc/39/3654.md?p=f) is non-public information. Any person other than the Postal Service with a proprietary interest in the materials may claim that information that would be protectable under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c) is non-public information. Any person may claim that information that is exempt from public disclosure under [5 U.S.C. 552(b)](/usc/5/552.md?p=b) is non-public information. Non-public materials cease to be non-public if the status has expired or has been terminated by the Commission pursuant to this part. Except as provided by [§ 3011.205](/cfr/39/3011.205.md), non-public materials cease to be non-public if the submitter publicly discloses the materials with the consent of each affected person with a propriety interest in the materials (if applicable).
