FOIA LIBRARY

 

Many of the Commission’s documents are available to the public without having to make a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.  These documents are called “proactive disclosures” because they are proactively posted online.

This page contains proactive disclosures of records that may be of significant public interest and records frequently requested pursuant the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(2) and policy guidance from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Information Policy, Proactive Disclosures of Non-Exempt Agency Information: Making Information Available Without the Need to File a FOIA Request (USDOJ/OIP Mar. 16, 2015).
