Freedom of Information Act and the Privacy Act
Issued by Executive Office of the President
The Office of the Intellectual Property Enforcement Coordinator (IPEC) is issuing its implementing regulations for the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and the Privacy Act. The proposed rule describes how to make a FOIA request with IPEC and how IPEC processes requests for records. The proposed rule also states IPEC's Privacy Act Policies and Procedures. The proposed rule describes how individuals can find out if an IPEC system of records contains information about them and, if so, how to access or amend a record. IPEC seeks comments on all aspects of the proposed rule and will thoroughly consider all comments that are submitted on time.
This is a factual description of what was issued or decided, not an assessment of it.
