## Text

(a) Any person may claim that specific information required pursuant to this part should be withheld because it is privileged, and any person can object to that claim.
(b) Requests or objections must be submitted to the Commandant (CG-5P) in writing, with sufficient specificity to identify the information at issue, and to show why it should or should not be considered privileged.
(c) The Commandant (CG-5P) determines whether to grant or deny a claim of privilege.
