Abstract
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA, Agency, or we) is issuing a final rule amending its public information regulations. The final rule revises the current regulations to incorporate changes made to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) by the Openness Promotes Effectiveness in our National Government Act of 2007 (OPEN Government Act) and the FOIA Improvement Act of 2016 (FOIA Improvement Act). Additionally, the final rule updates the current regulations to reflect changes to the organizational structure of FDA, to make the FOIA process easier for the public to navigate, and to make provisions clearer.
