NARA is making revisions to its Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) regulation, which governs access to NARA's archival holdings and NARA's own operational records through FOIA. These revisions include clarifying that records transferred to NARA from legislative branch agencies retain their legislative branch status and remain outside the scope of FOIA and noting that the custody of certain official military personnel files at NARA's National Personnel Records Center located in St. Louis, Missouri, has been transferred to NARA. The revisions update the regulation to incorporate the Office of Government Services and make other changes pursuant to the Open FOIA Act of 2009, the Open Government Act of 2007, and the Electronic Freedom of Information Act Amendments of 1996 (EFOIA).
