Publication ID: Fall 1994

Title: Freedom of Information
Abstract: This rule will revise the DOE regulations on the procedures and principles to be applied in responding to requests for records under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) 5 USC 552. Revisions include updated names and addresses of organizational entities, and updated guidelines for the schedule of fees associated with processing requests. A proposed section on policies would clarify DOE's operation of a first-in, first-out policy in responding to FOIA requests. The issue of when contractor records become agency records also will be resolved in the new rule. The role of the Office of Hearings and Appeals is clarified.
