After consultation, the Agency will partially grant and partially deny the request by:\n(a) Segregating and releasing the nonexempt information, unless the nonexempt material is so intertwined with the exempt material that disclosure of it would leave only meaningless words and phrases;\n(b) Indicating on the released portion of the record the amount of information deleted and the FOIA exemption under which the deletion was made, unless doing so would harm an interest protected by the FOIA exemption used to withhold the information; and\n(c) If technically feasible, indicating the amount of information deleted and the FOIA exemption under which the deletion was made at the place in the record where the deletion was made.","path":["Title 45—Public Welfare","Subtitle B—Regulations Relating to Public Welfare","CHAPTER XXI—COMMISSION OF FINE ARTS","PART 2105—REQUIREMENTS FOR COMPLIANCE WITH THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT","Subpart E—Responses to Requests"],"source_url":"https://www.ecfr.gov/api/versioner/v1/full/2026-08-25/title-45.xml","current_through":"2026-08-25","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-08-27T02:26:21Z","sha256":"f844a7e8047ec8b295bd819c70d6c1543b662487308d6453d4e13db1c077f6b2","source_id":"us-cfr","stale":true,"prev":"us/45-cfr-2105.22","next":"us/45-cfr-2105.24"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
