What are exemptions?

Not all records can be released
under the FOIA. Congress established certain categories of information that are not required to be released in response to a FOIA request because release would be harmful to governmental or private interests. These categories are called "exemptions" from disclosures. Still, even if an exemption applies, agencies may use their discretion to release information when there is no foreseeable harm in doing so and disclosure is not otherwise prohibited by law.

In order to to be trading in insider information, you have to be INSIDE the company, in this case DGRI.
The government could use exemption number 4 on confidential commercial information, but then it it would be found to be hiding information from DGRI if the company itself requested the information.
