DoD IG Signals Shift in FOIA Policy
Client Alert | less than 1 min read | 08.18.16
In June, the DoD IG announced that, "[i]n an effort to create greater transparency, DoD OIG will proactively redact and post reports and select administrative investigations," rather than requiring FOIA requests for them. Along with the recent amendments to FOIA, which require agencies to "make available for public inspection in an electronic format" records "that have been requested three or more times," the IG's decision is likely to increase the amount of information available to the public regarding IG reports, which in the past have included investigations of major defense programs.

FCC Clarifies Covered List for Power Inverters and Advanced Robotic Devices
