12 U.S.C. § 4586 — Public disclosure of final orders and agreements

(a) The Director^* must make public written agreements and statements whose violations the Director can remedy, and changes or endings of them, unless the Director, in the Secretary’s discretion, finds disclosure contrary to the public interest or finds under (c) that it would seriously threaten the enterprise’s financial health or security. The Director must also make public final orders in its administrative enforcement proceedings and changes or endings of those orders. (b) Hearings on the Director’s charge notices are public unless the Director, in the Secretary’s discretion, finds an open hearing contrary to the public interest. (c) If the Director writes that disclosure of a final order would seriously threaten the enterprise’s financial soundness, the Director may delay disclosure for a reasonable time. (d) The Director may seal a document or part of one if written findings say disclosure would be contrary to the public interest. (e) For at least six years, the Director must keep records of the public documents, enforcement agreements, supervisory actions, and supporting documents connected to enforcement proceedings. (f) This section does not allow withholding information from Congress or bar disclosure to Congress or its committees.
