Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)
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.
