Freedom of Information; Final Rule

This final rule revises the Overseas Private Investment Corporation's ("OPIC," or "the Corporation") Freedom of Information Act ("FOIA") regulations by making substantive and administrative changes. These revisions supersede OPIC's current FOIA regulations, located at this Part. The final rule incorporates the FOIA revisions contained in the Electronic Freedom of Information Act Amendments of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-231) ("EFOIA"), conforms OPIC's regulations to current OPIC FOIA practices, and converts the regulations to a plain English format. The final rule also reflects the disclosure principles established by President Clinton and Attorney General Reno in their FOIA Policy Memorandum of October 4, 1993, and reiterated in Attorney General Reno's September 3, 1999 FOIA Memorandum to the heads of federal departments and agencies. Finally, the final rule adds a notice to OPIC's business submitters concerning access to OPIC records that have been transferred to the legal custody and control of the National Archives of the United States ("National Archives").
