A determination by the director under this subsection is subject to review under ORS 192.311 to 192.478. (3) Except as provided in subsections (4) and (5) of this section, the following records of the department are exempt from disclosure or production and must be treated as confidential as provided in ORS 705.137: (a) Examination reports and work papers, directives, orders and correspondence that relate to examination reports.

(4) Notwithstanding subsection (3) of this section, the director may disclose a record that is specified in this subsection and that pertains to an Oregon operating institution that has been liquidated under ORS 711.400 to 711.615 if the director determines in a particular instance that the public interest in disclosure of the record outweighs the interests of the Oregon operating institution or of the directors, stockholders, officers, employees or customers of the Oregon operating institution in keeping the record confidential. The director may not in any circumstances, however, disclose a record or a portion of a record that contains proprietary information or information that relates to a person’s financial activities or affairs unless the director concludes that the activities or affairs were a direct and substantial contributing factor in the failure of the Oregon operating institution.

(5) Notwithstanding ORS 40.270, an officer of the department may be examined concerning records that are exempt from disclosure under subsection (2) or (3) of this section and ORS 706.730. The records are subject to production if the court before which a civil or criminal action is pending finds that the examination and production is essential for establishing a claim or defense. In making a finding under this subsection, if the court views the records, the court shall do so in camera. (6) A civil penalty the director imposes under the Bank Act is subject to public inspection after the 20th day after the director imposes the civil penalty.

(f) A supervisory authority that regulates financial institutions, financial holding companies or bank holding companies. (g) The respective Oregon operating institution, or the financial holding company or bank holding company that controls an Oregon operating institution. (8) The director shall prescribe and furnish to interested persons the forms for all reports required by the Bank Act.
