When is the RFI available for public inspection according to the regulations?

The Regulations stipulate that the Request for Information (RFI) is confidential and not available for public inspection. This is important because confidentiality helps to protect sensitive information and the integrity of the process involved in investigations. Ensuring that RFIs remain confidential allows for honest and open communication among stakeholders without the fear of public scrutiny or retribution.

This confidentiality protects both the individuals providing information and the process itself, encouraging thorough investigations and preserving the integrity of the decision-making process. The other choices imply varying degrees of transparency or public access to the information, which contradicts the goal of maintaining confidentiality in these situations.
