| The
Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) is a federal statute which allows any person the
right to obtain federal agency records unless the records (or part of the
records) are protected from disclosure by any of the nine exemptions contained
in the law. On October 2, 1996, President Clinton signed into law the
Electronic Freedom of Information Act Amendments of 1996 (E-FOIA). E-FOIA will
make it possible for individuals to have electronic access to certain USDA
information without making a formal FOIA request. |
