§ 40306. Nondisclosure of information

Information and documents (other than an agreement) filed with the Federal Maritime Commission under this chapter are exempt from disclosure under section 552 of title 5 and may not be made public except as may be relevant to an administrative or judicial proceeding. This section does not prevent disclosure to either House of Congress or to a duly authorized committee or subcommittee of Congress.

(Pub. L. 109–304, § 7, Oct. 6, 2006, 120 Stat. 1531.)

The words “judicial proceeding” are substituted for “judicial action or proceeding” to eliminate unnecessary words.
