{"abstract":"The Federal Open Market Committee (\"Committee\") is finalizing its interim final rule amending the Committee's regulations under the Freedom of Information Act (\"FOIA\"). The FOIA Improvement Act of 2016 (\"Improvement Act\") amended the FOIA and required each federal agency to review its FOIA regulations and to issue certain revisions by December 27, 2016. Substantive revisions to the Committee's Rules Regarding Availability of Information (\"Rules\") were made to conform to the Improvement Act, and the Committee made other technical changes to the Rules in order to clarify the existing procedures for requesting information and to update contact information. The interim final rule became effective on December 27, 2016. This rulemaking finalizes the interim rule with minor edits for consistency and clarification.","action":"Final rule.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM","name":"Federal Reserve System","id":188,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/federal-reserve-system","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/188","parent_id":null,"slug":"federal-reserve-system"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2017/10/02/2017-21071.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":271,"title":12}],"citation":"82 FR 45679","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"This final rule is effective on November 1, 2017.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":[],"dockets":[],"document_number":"2017-21071","effective_on":"2017-11-01","end_page":45680,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"explanation":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2017/10/02/2017-21071.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2017/10/02/2017-21071/rules-regarding-availability-of-information","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2017-21071?publication_date=2017-10-02","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2017-10-02/2017-21071/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":2,"page_views":{"count":217,"last_updated":"2026-04-04 18:15:03 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2017-10-02/pdf/2017-21071.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2017-21071.pdf?1506689184","publication_date":"2017-10-02","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2017/10/02/2017-21071.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{},"regulation_id_numbers":[],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2017-10-22T06:00:17Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":45679,"subtype":null,"title":"Rules Regarding Availability of Information","toc_doc":"Rules Regarding Availability of Information","toc_subject":null,"topics":["Federal Open Market Committee","Freedom of information"],"type":"Rule","volume":82}
