(a) Disclosure of information
Information concerning the nature and location of any archaeological resource for which the excavation or removal requires a permit or other permission under this chapter or under any other provision of Federal law may not be made available to the public under subchapter II of chapter 5 of title 5 or under any other provision of law unless the Federal land manager concerned determines that such disclosure would— (1) further the purposes of this chapter or chapter 3125 of title 54, and (2) not create a risk of harm to such resources or to the site at which such resources are located.
