New DOJ Guidance Issued on FOIA

This afternoon the Department of Justice FOIA site posted a new Annual Report Guidance for Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Related Agencies.

From the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press release: The U.S. Department of Justice has issued a 1,693-word guidance to federal agencies on how to determine if records are “frequently requested,” by Freedom of Information Act requesters. The Electronic FOI Act of 1996 requires agencies to post information on their Web sites, or electronic “reading rooms” when they believe the information will be the subject of subsequent requests. The guidance is instructive as to how agencies may avoid posting more information than might strictly be required.

BeSpacific: “No one better has her finger on the pulse of the legal information world than Sabrina Pacifici, law librarian and author of the blog BeSpacific,” writes blogger Robert Ambrogi. “Launched in 2002, BeSpacific is one of the longest-running legal blogs and, remarkably, Sabrina seems more prolific today than ever. She posts multiple items every day, covering the gamut of law, technology and knowledge discovery and topics ranging from cybersecurity to legal research to government regulation to civil liberties to IP and more. For me, BeSpacific is one of my daily must-reads and has been for 14 years straight.”
