FOIA News: CFPB introduces revised FOIA regulations
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau published a final rule implementing revised FOIA regulations in today’s issue of the Federal Register. In addition to amending its regulations in light of the FOIA Improvement Act of 2016, the agency made other changes to “streamline” its FOIA processes, among other things. The CFPB made some changes as a result of the eight comments it received in response to its August 24, 2016 notice of proposed rulemaking. The new regulations are effective October 12, 2018.
