STATE RIN: 1400-AD44 Publication ID: Spring 2015 
Title: Availability of Information and Records to the Public 
Abstract:

The Department of State proposes to revise its regulations of November 3, 2004, and October 11, 2007, governing the availability to the public of information that is under the control of the Department. There have been several changes in the law and regulations governing disclosure of such information, including executive orders pertaining to the disclosure of agency records to the public, the Open Government Act of 2007, the Open FOIA Act of 2009, and the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012. This proposed rule reflects changes in the FOIA and other statutes and consequent changes in the Department's procedures since the last revision of the Department's regulations on this subject.
