    The provisions of this part shall govern informal nonpublic 
investigations, as distinguished from formal investigations and 
adjudicatory proceedings, undertaken by the Office of the Assistant 
General Counsel for Aviation Enforcement and Proceedings with a view to 
obtaining information from any person. While the Department seeks and 
encourages voluntary cooperation and believes that it is in the best 
interest of all parties concerned, it will utilize the procedures 
provided by this part to compel the disclosure of information by any 
person where DOT wishes to determine whether such person, or any other 
person, has been or is violating any provisions of Title IV or sections 
101(3), 1002, 1003, or 1108(b) of the Act, or any rule, regulation, 
order, certificate, permit, or letter or registration issued pursuant 
thereto by DOT and when the information appears to be relevant to the 
matter under investigation. This part shall not apply to employees or 
records of other agencies of the U.S. Government, the District of 
Columbia, or the several States and their political subdivisions.
