Public Information, the Inspection of Records, and Implementation of Freedom of Information Act Amendments

摘要

The Commission amends its rules implementing the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to reflect changes in that law made by the OPEN Government Act of 2007. In addition, the rules are updated to reflect the current structure of the agency; to reflect the increased availability of records on the agency's Web site and the Commission's decisions over the years with respect to whether certain records are routinely available for public inspection; to ensure that the rules reflect the agency's experience with processing FOIA requests; and to clarify the fees applicable to FOIA requests.
