The White House Office of Management and Budget ("OMB") published a notice of proposed rulemaking for revisions to its Freedom of Information Act ("FOIA") regulations in today's issue of the Federal Register. The proposed rule seeks to update OMB's FOIA program in light of the OPEN Government Act of 2007 and the FOIA Improvement Act of 2016. OMB also seeks to restructure and "streamline" its FOIA processes, as suggested by the Department of Justice's model FOIA regulations and other Office of Information Policy guidance.
