In deciding whether to make disclosures pursuant to a demand, the General Counsel, or his designee, may consider, among things:

Disclosure would violate a statute or a rule of procedure,

Disclosure would violate a specific regulation,

Disclosure would reveal classified information, unless appropriately declassified by the originating agency,

Disclosure would reveal trade secrets or proprietary information without the owner's consent,

Disclosure would otherwise adversely affect the foreign policy interets of the United States or impair the foreign assistance program of the United States, or

Disclosure would impair an ongoing Inspector General or Department of Justice investigation.
