Final rule.
The Federal Housing Finance Board (Finance Board) is adopting as a final rule the interim final rule that revised its Privacy Act regulation to reflect an agency reorganization and to make it more “user-friendly” by using plain language and where appropriate, a question-and-answer format. The rule also amended the fee schedule in the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) regulation, which the Finance Board uses to determine the amount of the fee it charges to duplicate records under both the FOIA and the Privacy Act, to take into account increased salary and operating costs.
The final rule will become effective on November 14, 2003.
