Revision of Freedom of Information Act and Privacy Act Regulations and Implementation of Electronic Freedom of Information Act Amendments of 1996

요약

This document sets forth proposed revisions of the Foundation's regulations under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and Privacy Act. The new FOIA provisions implement the Electronic Freedom of Information Act Amendments of 1996, including revised time limit on response, negotiating with the requester, and expedited processing procedures. They make no changes in the figures currently used for calculating and charging fees under the FOIA. The Privacy Act regulations have been restructured for ease of use and outdated information eliminated.
