Title: Public Access to HUD Records Under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and Production of Material or Provision of Testimony by HUD Employees (FR-5206) 
Abstract: This rule would modify HUD's policies and practices regarding responses to subpoenas and other demands for testimony of HUD employees or for production of documents by HUD. This rule would delegate authority to additional officials within HUD's Office of General Counsel who would revise the criteria used to evaluate such demands. Finally, this rule would eliminate unnecessary provisions covering HUD's response to demands in cases in which the United States is a party to the case in which testimony or documents are requested.
