Freedom of Information Act Regulations

Riepilogo

This rule adopts revisions to the Department's regulations under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). The regulations are being revised to update and streamline procedures and incorporate certain changes brought about by the amendments to the FOIA under the OPEN Government Act of 2007 and the FOIA Improvement Act of 2016. Additionally, the regulations are being updated to reflect developments in the case law and to include current cost figures to be used in calculating and charging fees. This final rule follows publication of a proposed rule on October 26, 2018; it adopts the proposal without substantive change, although certain sections have been renumbered and reorganized.
