FOIA READING ROOM

The 1996 amendments to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) mandate publicly accessible "electronic reading rooms" with agency FOIA response materials and other information routinely available to the public. This page is designed to allow access to records which have been previously released under the provisions of Title 5, Section 552, Freedom of Information Act. These records will reflect deletion of portions of the information in accordance with the FOIA's nine enumerated exemption categories.

Beginning September 1, 2022, updates are posted monthly. The monthly update will have a “New Content” notification next to the added subject.
