“Information provided on the Federal Register states that the Department published a final rule in 2012 that updated and replaced the Department’s previous Freedom of Information Act regulations. In early 2016, the Department updated the final rule to authorize the Office of Inspector General to process its own FOIA appeals. Later that year, the Department updated the final rule again in response to the mid-year enactment of the FOIA Improvement Act of 2016.”
