(E) Criteria for the head of an agency to use in determining whether a particular data asset should not be made publicly available in a manner that takes into account— (i) risks and restrictions related to the disclosure of personally identifiable information, including the risk that an individual data asset in isolation does not pose a privacy or confidentiality risk but when combined with other available information may pose such a risk; (ii) security considerations, including the risk that information in an individual data asset in isolation does not pose a security risk but when combined with other available information may pose such a risk; (iii) the cost and benefits to the public of converting the data into a format that could be understood and used by the public; (iv) whether the public dissemination of the data asset could result in legal liability; (v) whether the data asset— (I) is subject to intellectual property rights, including rights under titles 17 and 35; (II) contains confidential business information, that could be withheld under [section 552(b)(4) of title 5](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title5-section552/b/4&num=0&edition=prelim); or (III) is restricted by contract or other binding, written agreement; (vi) whether the holder of a right to such data asset has been consulted; (vii) the expectation that all data assets that would otherwise be made available under [section 552 of title 5](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title5-section552&num=0&edition=prelim) be disclosed; and (viii) any other considerations that the Director determines to be relevant.
