Latest version.

A fundamental policy of the Department of Commerce is to make information available to the public to the maximum extent permitted by law. Information which is declassified, for any reason, loses its protective status in the interest of national security. Accordingly, declassified information shall be handled in every respect on the same basis as all other unclassified information.
