The agencies may require information from persons who are under their jurisdiction pursuant to the laws they administer and within the scope of the interests contemplated therein.
Any person who is requested to give information as authorized in this section may take exception to the agency’s request by means of an adjudicatory procedure as established in the special law in question, and in §§ 2151—2168 of this title. The exception may only be grounded on the fact that the requirement for information is unreasonable or exceeds the agency’s authority because it is not germane to the range of interest contemplated in the act or acts involved.
