Title: Revision of Freedom of Information Act Regulations | |
Abstract:
This proposed rule would revise OMB’s regulations found in title 5 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) implementing the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). These revisions are being proposed to implement the FOIA and incorporate the provisions of the OPEN Government Act of 2007, public law 11081 and the FOIA Improvement Act of 2016 public law 104231, as well as to streamline OMB’s FOIA regulations by structuring the text of the regulation in an order more similar to that of the Department of Justice's (DOJ) FOIA regulation and the DOJ Office of Information Policy's Guidance for Agency FOIA Regulations, thus promoting uniformity of FOIA regulations across agencies. Additionally, the regulations would be updated to reflect developments in the case law. |
