Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Advisory Committee: Solicitation of Nominations

NARA renewed the charter for the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Advisory Committee (Committee) for a seventh term on April 24, 2026, and sought nominations for membership to serve on the 2026-2028 term of the Committee. While NARA awaited Senate confirmation of a permanent Archivist of the United States, it placed the nominations for new Committee members on hold. Dr. Bradford P. Wilson was sworn in as the 12th Archivist of the United States on August 21, 2026. As a result, NARA is re-opening the nomination period.
