Background The December 28, 2018, NPRM (83 FR 67175) asked for public comment on the regulations that the Department follows in processing records under the Freedom of Information Act. The revisions clarify and update procedures for requesting information from the Department and procedures that the Department follows in responding to requests from the public. Extension of the Public Comment Period The comment period for the NPRM was set to expire on January 28, 2019 (83 FR 67175).

Accordingly, the Department extends the comment period for all comments on the NPRM to January 29, 2019. James Cason, Associate Deputy Secretary.
