# 1662.3 SSS's FOIA policy.

(a) *Presumption of openness.* The Agency will withhold information only if the Chief FOIA Officer reasonably foresees that disclosure would harm an interest protected by a FOIA exemption or if disclosure is prohibited by law.

(b) *Authority to release and withhold records.* As described in § 1662.9, the Agency's Chief FOIA Officer has the authority to:

(1) Release or withhold records in response to initial requests;

(2) Grant or deny expedited processing; and

(3) Reduce or waive fees.

(c) *Records publicly available.* The Agency makes available for public inspection, in an electronic format, records that have been requested and released three or more times and other specified records described in § 1662.26.

(d) *Required record production.* The FOIA does not require an Agency to give opinions, conduct research, answer questions, or create records.
