Procedures for Disclosure of Information Under the Freedom of Information Act

Résumé

This NPRM proposes several revisions to the LSC regulations implementing the Freedom of Information Act. The proposed revisions would add provisions detailing the submitter's rights process, provide LSC with express authority to defer action on pending and additional requests and appeals when a requester has an outstanding fee balance, and clarify the applicable fee waiver standards. LSC also proposes to revise the applicable fee structure to better reflect LSC's costs in complying with FOIA. Finally, the NPRM contains proposed technical changes to reflect current LSC nomenclature.
