## Abstract

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is amending its regulations that implement the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to provide clarity, promote agency accountability, improve efficiency in responding to FOIA requests, update roles and responsibilities, and align the regulations with current Federal best practices for implementing FOIA. This final rule addresses the Department of Justice (DOJ) recommendation that the NRC update its FOIA regulations and incorporate the DOJ's model language for FOIA regulations, where appropriate. The NRC is not soliciting public comment for these changes because the change is limited to an agency rule of procedure and practice.
