The FAA is subject to all Laws of the United States. One of these is the Freedom of Information Act, better known as FOIA.

Under this Act, virtually all information owned by the people is subject to petition to disclose. The FAA will certainly receive all pertinent data from EASA. This makes it Public. There is not a single databit that is immune. I do not know the EU's rules, but I am familiar with FAA's. Whatever Secrecy Foreign firms rely on outside of the USA is nonexistent in this country. Every part, purpose and process utilized in compliance mode and timeline will be incorporated by reference in the FAA's decisions. So in a very real way, the EASA and the FAA are one, though the FAA has marginally bigger stones.
