DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
Office of the Secretary
43 CFR Part 2
RIN 1090-AA61
Amendment to the Freedom of Information Act Regulations
AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, Interior.
ACTION: Direct final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document amends the Department of the Interior's (DOI)
regulations implementing the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), 5
U.S.C. 552. In particular, it: clarifies the time limit that requesters
have for filing FOIA appeals; clarifies that requesters must include
the required documentation with their appeals or their appeals may be
rejected by the FOIA Appeals Officer; clarifies that requesters must
file a FOIA request with each separate bureau/office from which they
are seeking records; changes the language regarding requests for
expedited processing to be consistent with the language used in the
FOIA including removing a paragraph in that section pertaining to ``due
process rights;'' makes the use of multitrack processing mandatory for
all bureaus and offices; advises requesters that they may contact the
bureau/office's FOIA Requester Service Center and the FOIA Public
Liaison concerning the status of their requests; and includes current
contact information for DOI's FOIA and Public Affairs/Office of
Communications Contacts and its reading rooms (Headquarters).
Additionally, the final rule revises the definitions of the terms:
``representative of the news media'' and ``freelance journalist'' in
accordance with the Openness Promotes Effectiveness in Our National
(OPEN) Government Act of 2007 (December 31, 2007). The term ``news'' is
defined within the term ``representative of the news media.''
DATES: With the exception of Sec. 2.3(k) and (r), this rule is
effective May 14, 2009. Section 2.3(k) and (r) have been revised
consistent with the OPEN Government Act of 2007 and are effective May
29, 2009 without further action unless significant adverse comments are
received by May 14, 2009. If significant adverse comments to Sec.
2.3(k) and (r) comments are received, DOI will publish a timely
withdrawal of these paragraphs in the Federal Register.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by the number 1090-AA61,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Department of the Interior published a final rule in the
Federal Register on October 21, 2002, revising its regulations
implementing the FOIA, 43 CFR part 2. In this publication, the language
used in Sec. 2.21(d)(6), ``How will the bureau respond to my
request?'' and the language used in Sec. 2.29, ``How long do I have to
file an appeal?'' were inconsistent with each other concerning the
timeframe for filing an appeal. This rule clarifies the 2002 final rule
by noting that appeals must be received by the FOIA Appeals Officer no
later than 30 workdays from the date of the final response.
Additionally, this rule clarifies that a requester's failure to include
all correspondence between himself/herself and the bureau concerning
his/her FOIA request will result in the Department's rejection of the
appeal unless the FOIA Appeals Officer determines that good cause
exists to accept the defective appeal.
This rule also changes Sec. 2.22, ``What happens if a bureau
receives a request for records it does not have or did not create?'' to
eliminate paragraph (a)(1) of Sec. 2.22, which has been construed by
some courts to require bureaus that had received a FOIA request to
refer the request to another bureau for a search of its records,
regardless of whether the bureau that received the request had
responsive records. The result of this change is that FOIA requesters
must submit their requests in accordance with Sec. 2.10, which
requires that the FOIA requester specify which bureau's records are
being sought or, at a minimum, specify when the FOIA requester is
seeking the records of more than one bureau.
Consistent with EO 13392, this rule adds a new paragraph (c) to
Sec. 2.12, ``When can I expect the response?'' advising requesters
that they may contact the bureau/office's FOIA Requester Service Center
and the FOIA Public Liaison concerning the status of their requests.
Additionally, the language in Sec. Sec. 2.3 and 2.14 regarding
expedited processing has been amended to reflect the FOIA's statutory
language; therefore, the term ``exceptional need'' has been replaced
with ``compelling need,'' and paragraph (a)(3) in Sec. 2.14 pertaining
to ``due process rights'' has been removed.
This rule also revises the language in Sec. 2.26, ``Does the
bureau provide multitrack processing of FOIA requests?'' to make the
use of multitrack processing mandatory for all bureaus and offices
within the Department and remind the bureaus of the statutory
requirement of due diligence.
Appendix A to part 2, Department of the Interior FOIA and Public
Affairs Contacts and Reading Rooms, has been updated to include current
contact information for DOI's FOIA and Public Affairs/Office of
Communications Contacts and its reading rooms (Headquarters) and to
delete the FOIA contacts and reading rooms for the field offices. In
the future, bureaus/offices will maintain information pertaining to the
field offices on their FOIA Web sites to ensure that their contact
information is accurate and current.
Finally, this final rule revises the definition of the terms
``representative of the news media'' and ``freelance journalist''
(Sec. 2.3(k) and Sec. 2.3(r)) in accordance with the OPEN Government
Act of 2007 (December 31, 2007).
II. Procedural Matters and Required Documentation
Administrative Procedure Act
On October 25, 2007, DOI published a proposed rule that revised its
existing regulations under the FOIA. See 72 FR 60611, October 25, 2007.
Interested persons were afforded an opportunity to participate in the
rulemaking through submission of written comments on the proposed rule.
The Department did not receive any comments from the public in response
to its proposed rule. Accordingly, those provisions previously
published are now final. Additionally, the Department is publishing, as
a direct final rule three additional administrative updates: (1) The
contact information in Appendix A to part 2, Department of the Interior
FOIA and Public Affairs Contacts and Reading Rooms; (2) incorporation
of the definitions for the terms ``representative of the news media''
and ``freelance journalist'' in accordance with the OPEN Government Act
of 2007; and (3) one technical change to Sec. 2.29(a), which
[[Page 17091]]
clarifies the time appellants have to file an appeal.
Executive Order 12866--Regulatory Planning and Review
This document is not a significant rule and the Office of
Management and Budget has not reviewed this rule under Executive Order
12866. We have made the assessments required by Executive Order 12866
and have determined that this rule will not:
(1) Have an annual effect on the economy of $100 million or more or
adversely affect in a material way the economy, a sector of the
economy, productivity, competition, jobs, the environment, public
health or safety, or State, local, or tribal governments, or
communities;
(2) Create a serious inconsistency or otherwise interfere with an
action taken or planned by another agency;
(3) Materially alter the budgetary impact of entitlements, grants,
user fees, or loan programs or the rights or obligations of their
recipients; or
(4) Raise novel legal or policy issues.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
DOI certifies that this regulation will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 606(b)). Under the FOIA, agencies
may recover only the direct costs of searching for, reviewing, and
duplicating the records processed for requesters. Thus, fees assessed
by DOI are nominal.
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act
This rule is not a major rule under 5 U.S.C. 804(2), the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act. This rule will not result
in an annual effect on the economy of more than $100 million per year;
a major increase in costs or prices for consumers, individual
industries, Federal, State, or local government agencies, or geographic
regions; or significant adverse effects on competition, employment,
investment, productivity, innovation, or on the ability of U.S.-based
companies to compete with foreign-based enterprises. It deals strictly
with implementation of the FOIA within DOI.
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
This rule does not impose an unfunded mandate on State, local, or
tribal governments, or the private sector of more than $100 million per
year. The rule does not have a significant or unique effect on State,
local, or tribal governments, or the private sector. Therefore, no
actions were deemed necessary under the provisions of the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act (2 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).
Executive Order 12630--Takings
In accordance with Executive Order 12630, this rule does not have
any takings implications. It deals strictly with implementation of the
FOIA within DOI. Therefore, a takings assessment is not required.
Executive Order 13132--Federalism
In accordance with Executive Order 13132, this rule does not have
Federalism implications as it deals strictly with implementation of the
FOIA within DOI. Therefore, a Federalism assessment is not required.
Executive Order 12988--Civil Justice Reform
In accordance with Executive Order 12988, the Office of the
Solicitor has determined that this rule does not unduly burden the
judicial system and the requirements of sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of
the Order.
Paperwork Reduction Act
This rule does not contain any information collection requirements
for which OMB approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
3501-3520) is required.
National Environmental Policy Act
This rule does not constitute a major Federal action significantly
affecting the quality of the human environment. A detailed statement
under the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4321-4347) of
1969 is not required.
Executive Order 13211--Regulations That Significantly Affect the
Supply, Distribution, or Use of Energy
Executive Order 13211 requires agencies to prepare Statements of
Energy Effects when undertaking certain actions. As this rule is not
expected to significantly affect energy supplies, distribution, or use,
this action is not a significant energy action and no Statement of
Energy Effects is required.
Clarity of This Regulation
Executive Order 12866 requires each agency to write regulations
that are easy to understand. We invite your comments on how to make
this rule easier to understand, including answers to such questions
such as the following:
(1) Are the requirements in the rule clearly stated?
(2) Does the rule contain technical language or jargon that
interferes with its clarity?
(3) Does the format of the rule (grouping and order of sections,
use of headings, paragraphing, etc.) aid or reduce its clarity?
(4) Would the rule be easier to understand if it were divided into
more (but shorter) sections? (A ``section'' appears in bold type and is
preceded by the symbol ``Sec. '' and a numbered heading; for example,
``Sec. 2.7 What do I need to know before filing a FOIA request?'')
(5) Is the description of the rule in the Supplementary Information
section of the preamble helpful in understanding the proposed rule?
What else could we do to make the rule easier to understand?
Send a copy of any comments that concern how we could make this
rule easier to understand to: Office of Regulatory Affairs, Department
of the Interior, 1849 C Street, NW., MS-7229-MIB, Washington, DC 20240.

For the reasons given in the preamble, we hereby amend part 2 of title
43 of the Code of Federal Regulations, as set forth below:
PART 2--RECORDS AND TESTIMONY: FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT
0
1. The authority citation for part 2 continues to read as follows:
Authority: 5 U.S.C. 301, 552 and 552a; 31 U.S.C. 9701; and 43
U.S.C. 1460
Subpart A--General Information
0
2. In Sec. 2.3, revise paragraphs (i), (k), and (r) to read as
follows:
Sec. 2.3 What terms do I need to know?
* * * * *
(i) Expedited processing means giving a FOIA request priority, and
processing it ahead of other requests pending in the bureau because a
requester has shown a compelling need for the records (see Sec. 2.14).
* * * * *
(k) Free-lance journalist means an individual who is regarded as
working for a news-media entity because he/she can demonstrate a solid
basis for expecting publication through that entity, whether or not the
journalist is actually employed by that entity. A publication contract
would present a
[[Page 17092]]
solid basis for such an expectation; the Government may also consider
the past publication record of the requester in making such a
determination.
* * * * *
(r) Representative of the news media means any person or entity
that gathers information of potential interest to a segment of the
public, uses its editorial skills to turn the raw materials into a
distinct work, and distributes that work to an audience. The term
`news' means information that is about current events or that would be
of current interest to the public. Examples of news-media entities are
newspapers, television or radio stations broadcasting to the public at
large, and publishers of periodicals (but only if such entities qualify
as disseminators of `news') who make their products available for
purchase by or subscription by or free distribution to the general
public. These examples are not all inclusive. As methods of news
delivery evolve (for example, the adoption of the electronic
dissemination of newspapers through telecommunication services), such
alternative media will be considered to be news-media entities.
Subpart C--Requests for Records under the FOIA
0
3. In Sec. 2.12, add a new paragraph (c) to read as follows:
Sec. 2.12 When can I get the response?
* * * * *
(c) Determining the status of your request. To determine the status
of your request, you should call, fax, or email the point of contact
provided in the bureau/office's acknowledgment letter to you,
referencing the FOIA control number assigned to your request. You may
also contact the appropriate FOIA Requester Service Center. If you are
dissatisfied with the FOIA Requester Service Center's response, you may
contact the bureau/office's FOIA Public Liaison to resolve the issue.
(The relevant names and telephone numbers are listed at http://www.doi.gov/foia/liaison.html).
0
4. In Sec. 2.14, revise paragraph (a) to read as follows:
Sec. 2.14 When can I get expedited processing?
(a) A bureau will provide expedited processing when you request it
if you demonstrate to the satisfaction of the bureau that there is a
compelling need for the records. The following circumstances
demonstrate a compelling need:
(1) Where failure to expedite the request could reasonably be
expected to pose an imminent threat to the life or physical safety of
an individual; or
(2) An urgency to inform the public about an actual or alleged
Federal Government activity if the request is made by a person
primarily engaged in disseminating information. In most situations, a
person primarily engaged in disseminating information will be a
representative of the news media. The requested information must be the
type of information which has particular value that will be lost if not
disseminated quickly, and ordinarily refers to a breaking news story of
general public interest. Therefore, information of historical interest
only, or information sought for litigation or commercial activities,
would not qualify, nor would a news media deadline unrelated to
breaking news.
* * * * *
0
5. In Sec. 2.21, revise paragraph (d)(6) to read as follows:
Sec. 2.21 How will the bureau respond to my request?
* * * * *
(d) * * *
(6) A statement that the denial may be appealed to the FOIA Appeals
Officer (see Appendix A to this Part), in accordance with the
requirements in Sec. 2.29.
* * * * *
0
6. In Sec. 2.22, revise paragraph (a) to read as follows:
Sec. 2.22 What happens if a bureau receives a request for records it
does not have or did not create?
(a) Consultations/referrals within DOI. If a bureau (other than the
Office of Inspector General) receives a request for records in its
possession that another bureau created or is substantially concerned
with, it will consult with the other bureau before deciding whether to
release or withhold the records. Alternatively, the bureau may refer
the request, along with the records, to that bureau for direct
response. The bureau that received the request will notify you of the
referral in writing, along with the name of a contact in the other
bureau(s) to which the referral was made. A referral does not restart
the statutory time limit for responding to your request.
* * * * *
0
7. Revise Sec. 2.26 to read as follows:
Sec. 2.26 Does the bureau provide multitrack processing of FOIA
requests?
(a) All bureaus will use three processing tracks to distinguish
between simple, normal, and complex requests based on the amount of
time needed to process the request. FOIA requests will be placed in one
of the following tracks:
(1) Simple: 1-5 workdays;
(2) Normal: 20 workdays; or
(3) Complex: Over 20 workdays.
(b) Bureaus will exercise due diligence in processing requests in
accordance with the requirements of the FOIA. Requesters should assume,
unless notified by the bureau, that their request is in the ``Normal''
track.
(c) A bureau should, if possible, give requesters in its
``Complex'' track the opportunity to limit the scope of their request
in order to qualify for faster processing. A bureau doing so will
contact the requester by telephone (which should be promptly followed
up by a written communication) or in writing, whichever is more
efficient in each case.
(d) See the Department's FOIA home page at http://www.doi.gov/foia/policy.html for details.
Subpart D--FOIA Appeals
0
8. Revise Sec. 2.29 to read as follows:
Sec. 2.29 How long do I have to file an appeal?
(a) Appeals covered by Sec. 2.28(a)(1), (2), (4), and (5). Your
FOIA appeal must be received by the FOIA Appeals Officer no later than
30 workdays from the date of the final response.
(b) Appeals covered by Sec. 2.28(a)(3). You may file an appeal any
time after the time limit for responding to your request has passed.
(c) Appeals covered by Sec. 2.28(a)(6). Your FOIA appeal must be
received by the FOIA Appeals Officer no later than 30 workdays from the
date of the letter denying the fee waiver.
(d) Appeals covered by Sec. 2.28(a)(7). You should file an appeal
as soon as possible.
(e) Appeals arriving or delivered after 5 p.m. E.T., Monday through
Friday, will be deemed received on the next workday.
0
9. In Sec. 2.30, revise paragraph (b) to read as follows:
Sec. 2.30 How do I file an appeal?
* * * * *
(b) You must include with your appeal copies of all correspondence
between you and the bureau concerning your FOIA request, including your
request and the bureau's response (if there is one). Failure to include
with your appeal all correspondence between you and the bureau will
result in the Department's rejection of your appeal, unless the FOIA
Appeals Officer determines, in the FOIA Appeal Officer's sole
discretion, that good cause
[[Page 17093]]
exists to accept the defective appeal. The time limits for responding
to your appeal will not begin to run until the documents are received.
