Ordinarily the Council or other Federal agency that classified the information should conduct the review, except that if a record contains information that has been derivatively classified by the Council because it contains information classified by another agency, the Council shall refer the responsibility for responding to the request to the agency that classified the underlying information. Information determined to no longer require classification shall not be withheld on the basis of FOIA exemption (b)(1) (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(1)), but should be reviewed to assess whether any other FOIA exemption should be invoked. Appeals involving classified information shall be processed in accordance with § 1850.7.","path":["Title 40—Protection of Environment","CHAPTER VIII—GULF COAST ECOSYSTEM RESTORATION COUNCIL","PART 1850—AVAILABILITY OF RECORDS","Subpart A—Production or Disclosure Under the Freedom of Information Act"],"source_url":"https://www.ecfr.gov/api/versioner/v1/full/2026-08-25/title-40.xml","current_through":"2026-08-25","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-08-27T02:26:04Z","sha256":"d8549985cd601e57653942d0316a25b8728ff84235051928fe39dd5129356e2f","source_id":"us-cfr","stale":true,"prev":"us/40-cfr-1850.12","next":"us/40-cfr-1850.31"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
