Freedom of Information Act and the Privacy Act

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 final rule describes how to make a FOIA request with IPEC and how IPEC processes requests for records. The final rule also states IPEC's Privacy Act Policies and Procedures. The final 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.

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