Accident investigation protocol says that only the lead investigating authority (here the NTSC/KNKT) will release data such as FDR/CVR recordings, if deemed appropriate.
The US NTSB (not FAA), representing the state of manufacture will have the status of an accredited representative to the investigation, and can choose in turn to consult other parties (Boeing, GE, FAA, etc), but none of those parties will release data independently.
