§4639 Public disclosure of final orders and agreements

Summary

The Director must make public any written agreement or statement the Director could use to fix a violation, and any change or end to those. The Director must also publish any enforcement order that became final under sections 4633 and 4634, and any change or end to those orders. Hearings on the record about charges must be open to the public unless the Director finds an open hearing would harm the public interest. If the Director writes that public release would seriously threaten a regulated party’s financial health or security, the release can be delayed for a reasonable time. The Director may also file documents under seal if a written finding says disclosure would harm the public interest. The Director must keep records of the items above, plus enforcement agreements, supervisory actions, and supporting documents, for at least 6 years. Nothing here lets the Director refuse to give information to Congress or its committees.
