This rule amends 24 CFR part 15, which implements the Freedom of Information Act and sets forth the procedures to be followed by the Department in responding to requests from the public for documents. The rule fashions certain in-house administrative and procedural changes in the processing of requests for documents and appeals from denials of requests for documents, and is necessary to reflect current organizational responsibilities of the various offices within the Department. The rule also implements the Department's FOIA Handbook procedures for notifying business submitters and affording them an opportunity to object to disclosure of their business information.
