(a) Information held confidential pursuant to Section 250.10 may be disclosed by the Commissioner, at any time and in the Commissioner's sole discretion, whether on the Commissioner's own motion or upon the request of any person: (1) To other state or federal regulatory agencies, in accordance with law, or(2) When necessary or appropriate in any proceeding or investigation pursuant to the law under which the information was filed, or(3) Upon a determination by the Commissioner that continued confidential treatment is no longer justified because the reasons therefore no longer exist or because the public interest in disclosing such information outweighs the public interest in not doing so. If the Commissioner concludes that the disclosure of such information is necessary and urgent in the public interest or that it is impractical under the circumstances to give notice to the person who requested confidential treatment of the information, the information may be disclosed without notice. Otherwise, the person who requested confidential treatment of such information will be given notice that the release of such information is under consideration and the reasons therefore, and an opportunity to make representations promptly, within not more than five business days, regarding the continued need and justification for continued confidentiality.(b) Requests to Inspect Confidential Information. A request to inspect confidential information pursuant to Subsection (a)(3) should ordinarily be in writing, signed by the person making the request, and state the justification for the request. A copy of the request for inspection will ordinarily be forwarded to the person who requested confidential treatment of the information in accordance with Subsection (a)(3). If a request for inspection should be held confidential, the reasons therefore must be stated in such request, in accordance with Section 250.10(b).(c) Nothing contained herein shall be interpreted as affording any person a right to withdraw information once it has been received by the Commissioner, except as provided in subsection (c) of Section 250.10.Cal. Code Regs. Tit. 10, § 250.10.5
