What type of information typically qualifies as "publicly available" for disclosure?

Information that qualifies as "publicly available" for disclosure includes content that is officially released to the public and can be accessed without restrictions. This typically encompasses data found on government websites, official reports, press releases, and publicly accessible databases. Such information is intended for dissemination and does not pose any risk to national security or sensitive operational capabilities, which is why it can be shared freely with the public and foreign partners.

Other types of information listed, such as highly classified operational plans, internal documents not shared outside their respective agencies, and leaked information from confidential sources, do not meet the criteria for being publicly available. Highly classified operational plans are sensitive in nature and are restricted to protect national security. Internal documents are typically kept within the agency and not designed for public consumption. Finally, information obtained through leaks undermines official channels and lacks verification, compromising its reliability and safety for public release.
