(b) If a request for public disclosure of information is made for interagency or intra-agency memoranda or letters, the Department may deny this request if such request is exempted from disclosure pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(5) or the Open Public Records Act, 47:1A-3.

(c) If a request for information is made for investigatory records, the Department may deny the request if such request is exempted from disclosure pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(7) or the Open Public Records Act, 47:1A-3.

(d) The Department shall not disclose to any person information for which a confidentiality claim has been asserted except as provided in this subchapter or as otherwise required by law.
