Freedom of Information Act Program
Summary
The NRPC is establishing new rules to make it easier for the public to request and obtain government information under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). This regulation aims to improve how federal agencies handle public records requests and respond more quickly and transparently to citizens who want to know what their government is doing.
Key Points
- 1The regulation sets clearer procedures for how people can submit FOIA requests to get government documents and records
- 2It establishes time limits for federal agencies to respond to information requests, helping ensure the public doesn't wait excessively long for answers
- 3The rule likely addresses what types of information agencies must release versus what can be kept private for legitimate reasons like national security
- 4It may require agencies to make certain documents available online or in easier-to-access formats so citizens don't have to submit individual requests
- 5The public has until August 30, 2025 to submit comments about this proposed rule before it becomes final
