The information may be transferred to appropriate Federal, State, local, or foreign agencies when relevant to civil, criminal, or regulatory investigations or prosecutions; the information may be disclosed by NARA to an expert, consultant, or a contractor of NARA to the extent necessary for them to assist NARA in the performance of its duties; the information may be disclosed to the U.S. Department of Justice or to a court or adjudicative body in cases involving the mutilation or unlawful removal of the records.
