Agency records that are accepted for storage by the Records Center or other approved storage depository shall be considered to be under the jurisdiction of the agency which transferred the records.
The use of records in the Records Center shall be subject to access rules prescribed by the agency from which the records were transferred. When agency rules permit, the Records Manager shall make records in the Center available to requesters.
When access is precluded by agency restrictions, the Records Manager shall refer to the responsible agency any requests for access, including those made under the Freedom of Information Act.
In the case of records of a terminated agency for which there is no successor, access to records stored in the Center may be granted by the Administrator.
The Records Manager shall establish procedures for access to and use of records in a research room and elsewhere in the Records Center.
