Abstract
This final rule revises the Department of Commerce (Department) regulations under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and the Privacy Act. The revisions clarify and update the language of procedural requirements pertaining to the inclusion of Social Security account numbers on documents that the Department sends by mail. These revisions are necessary to implement the Social Security Number Fraud Prevention Act of 2017 (the Act), which restricts the inclusion of Social Security numbers (SSNs) on documents sent by mail by the Federal government.
