ANNOUNCEMENT 7
Subject: ALL - FR. CEQ. Revision of Freedom of Information Act Regulations
[Federal Register: August 11, 2010 (Volume 75, Number 154)]
[Rules and Regulations]
[Page 48585-48593]
COUNCIL ON ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY
40 CFR Part 1515
RIN 0331-ZA01
Revision of Freedom of Information Act Regulations
AGENCY: Council on Environmental Quality.
ACTION: Final Rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document amends the Council on Environmental Quality's
(CEQ) regulations governing the disclosure of information pursuant to
the requests made under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). These
revisions also reflect the principles established by President Obama's
Presidential Memoranda on ``Transparency and Open Government'' and
``Freedom of Information Act'' issued on January 21, 2009 and Attorney
General Holder's Memorandum on ``The Freedom of Information Act
(FOIA)'' issued on March 19, 2009. Additionally, the regulations have
been updated to reflect CEQ's policy and practices and reaffirm its
commitment to providing the fullest possible disclosure of records to
the public. The regulations provide for an online FOIA Requester
Service Center and Reading Room; electronic FOIA requests; access to
records published or released under FOIA in electronic format, provided
the record is readily reproducible in that form or format; designation
of a Chief FOIA Officer and FOIA Public Liaison; referral of requests
to appropriate Federal agencies or consultation with another agency, if
appropriate; review of requests in order of receipt; multi-tacking of
FOIA requests based on the amount of time and work involved in
processing requests; revision of CEQ's initial determination period
from 10 days to 20 days, beginning on the date CEQ receives a written
request; assignment of individualized tracking numbers for certain
requests; tolling of the time limit for CEQ to act on a request;
expedited processing of FOIA requests upon showing a showing of
compelling need; CEQ consultations with a requester to determine if a
FOIA request may be modified to allow for a more timely response, or to
arrange an alternative time frame for a response; informing the
requester of the volume of requested material withheld and the extent
of deletions in records released in response to a FOIA request;
increase in time for appeal from 45 to 60 days from the date of denial
of a request; extension of the time limit to respond to a request in
``unusual circumstances,'' and aggregation of clearly related requests
by a single requester or group of requesters. Further, CEQ's fee
structure is revised to include a method for computing fees based upon
the classification of the requester and the base pay of the employee
making the search, an increase of copying costs from $0.10 to $0.15 per
page, and a provision for waiving fees. Additional administrative
changes include reorganizing, renumbering, and renaming of the FOIA
subsections and updating addresses and telephone numbers.
DATES: This final rule is effective September 10, 2010.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Elizabeth Moss, FOIA Coordinator, 722
Jackson Place, NW., Washington, DC 20503 or (202) 456-6550.
