Fed Regist. 1997 Aug 26;62(165):45184-96.
This document sets forth proposed revision of the Department's regulations under both the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and the Privacy Act of 1974. The FOIA and Privacy Act regulations have been streamlined and condensed, in accordance with the principles of the National Performance Reviews. With more "user-friendly" language wherever possible. These revisions also reflect the principles established by President Clinton and Attorney General Reno in their FOIA Policy Memoranda of October 4, 1993. The new statement of discretionary disclosure policy will supercede the existing regulation regarding discretionary access to records of historical interest. Additionally, the regulations have been updated to reflect developments in the case law and to include updated cost figures to be used in calculating and charging fees. These proposed revisions also contain new provisions implementing the Electronic Freedom of Information Act Amendments of 1996.
本文件提出了对该部门依据《信息自由法》（FOIA）和1974年《隐私法》制定的法规的修订建议。根据国家绩效评估的原则，FOIA和隐私法法规已得到简化和压缩。尽可能使用更“用户友好”的语言。这些修订还反映了克林顿总统和司法部长雷诺在其1993年10月4日的FOIA政策备忘录中确立的原则。新的自由裁量披露政策声明将取代现有的关于自由裁量获取具有历史意义记录的规定。此外，法规已更新，以反映判例法的发展，并纳入用于计算和收取费用的最新成本数字。这些拟议的修订还包含实施1996年《电子信息自由法修正案》的新条款。
