2. All records introduced at public hearings on association charter and branch applications;

3. Information disclosing the failure of an association, a foreign association and their branches in this state and the reasons therefor;

6. Regular financial call reports of associations.

B. All other records in the Department shall be confidential and not subject to public inspection. However, the Commissioner may, in the sole discretion of the Commissioner, divulge such confidential information after receipt of a written request which shall:

1. Specify the record or records to which access is requested; and

2. Give the reasons for the request. Such records may also be produced pursuant to a valid judicial subpoena or other legal process requiring production, if the Commissioner determines that the records are relevant to the hearing or proceeding and that production is in the best interests of justice. The records may be disclosed only after a determination by the Commissioner that good cause exists for the disclosure. Either prior to or at the time of any disclosure, the Commissioner shall impose such terms and conditions as the Commissioner deems necessary to protect the confidential nature of the record, the financial integrity of any institution to which the record relates, and the legitimate privacy of any individual named in such records.
