Revision of the Freedom of Information Act Regulations of the National Railroad Passenger Corporation

This notice sets forth proposed revisions of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) regulations of the National Railroad Passenger Corporation ("Amtrak"). The regulations are being revised in part to incorporate the changes brought about by the FOIA Improvement Act of 2016, which requires all agencies to review and update their FOIA regulations in accordance with its provisions. Amtrak has also taken this opportunity to update, clarify, and streamline the language of its regulations in order to make the FOIA process easier for the public to navigate.

This is a factual description of what was issued or decided, not an assessment of it.
