Title: ●Amendments to Regulations Governing Access to Commission Information and Records; Freedom of Information Act  
Abstract:

The Federal Maritime Commission proposes to amend its regulations governing access to Commission information and records and its regulations implementing the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). The proposed revisions would update and consolidate the provisions identifying records available without the need for a FOIA request, including records available on the Commission’s public website; revise response time procedures for processing FOIA requests; affirmatively indicate that the Commission uses a multitrack system for processing FOIA requests; and modify the criteria for a FOIA request to qualify for expedited processing.
