CO Amends FOIA Rules

The Copyright Office adopted an interim rule amending its Freedom of Information Act regulations to comply with the 2016 FOIA Improvement Act. The interim rule, to take effect March 9, provides a “clear structure for the required regulatory provisions of FOIA,” the CO said Tuesday in a Federal Register notice. The interim rule also formalizes CO practices for multitrack processing and aggregation and enhances customer service for FOIA requests, the CO said. Comments are due April 24.
