ATF letter rulings

An interesting article in the Washington Times. I can understand the ATF's problems here -- it's stuck with interpreting a 70 year old statute that wasn't thought thru at the time of enactment. What I don't understand is how, given the Admin Procedure Act and FOIA, the "letter rulings" aren't completely public (things like those should at least be on public display in the agency reading room, and likely be codified in the Code of Federal Regs).
