New DOJ Guidance Issued on FOIA

by on

This afternoon the Department of Justice FOIA site posted a new Annual Report Guidance for Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Related Agencies.

  • From the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press release: The U.S. Department of Justice has issued a 1,693-word guidance to federal agencies on how to determine if records are “frequently requested,” by Freedom of Information Act requesters. The Electronic FOI Act of 1996 requires agencies to post information on their Web sites, or electronic “reading rooms” when they believe the information will be the subject of subsequent requests. The guidance is instructive as to how agencies may avoid posting more information than might strictly be required.
