Freedom of Information Act

摘要

The Federal Trade Commission is revising its Rules of Practice governing access to agency records. The Commission is adding one new category of public record materials; inserting additional contact information for the filing of initial Freedom of Information Act ("FOIA") requests; clarifying agency procedures for acknowledging the receipt of a request, the proper filing of a request, and the "cut- off" date for searches; and allowing an extension in unusual circumstances of the time period for a FOIA requester to file an administrative appeal.
