I would suggest you check out your University research policy and the requirements of the funder.
Legally the data has to be retained for a minimum of three years after the closeout of the grant for any FOIA requests.
The 40 year old data doesn’t come under the new mandates resulting from the 2013 OSTP, but the current data may if the research has been completed.

I have been asked what the best practice is for when to share your data with others.  The researcher asking see both sides as he has been asked to share his data which he is still using for his research agenda and doesn't want to jeopardize that agenda by sharing his data too soon.  On the other hand, he would like to see the research data of a colleague who has been using that same argument for the last 40 years.  In Googling around, I don't see a best practice with any teeth.
