The Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board has finalized amendments to certain fee provisions in its FOIA regulations, as set forth in a final rule published in the Federal Register. Among other things, DNFSB replaced the words “employee” and “employees” with the word “personnel” to ensure that it is able to recover the cost of document search and review time spent by contract workers as well as federal employees. The amendments become effective on October 10, 2024.
