§ 93. Powers and duties of the committee. (1) The committee shall
prepare a directory derived from the information provided pursuant to

subjects and the categories of information collected, and sufficient
information for the identification of rules promulgated by agencies
pursuant to this article. Individuals shall be permitted to purchase the
directory for a reasonable price as set by the committee in accordance
with law.

(2) The committee may, upon request of a data subject eligible to make
a request under section ninety-five of this article, investigate, make
findings and furnish an advisory opinion in connection with the
requirements of section ninety-five of this article. Prior to the
issuance of an advisory opinion, the committee may require an agency to
provide additional information which the committee deems necessary to
render an opinion. However, no system of records exempt from the
provisons of section ninety-five of this article shall be subject to the
provisions of this subdivision.

ninety-four of this article. However, such review by the committee shall
not include examination of personal information or records collected or
maintained by such agency. After review of such information the
committee may notify the agency of the result of its review. Such
notification and result shall not constitute an advisory opinion and
shall not be reported as such by the committee and there shall be no
obligation upon the agency to respond to such notification or result.
