The Statutory Reform Subcommittee is developing concrete recommendations for how Congress can amend the FOIA to improve the requesting experience, address agency processing challenges, and better achieve the goal of open and transparent government in a digital world. The Volume and Frequency Subcommittee is examining the challenges that arise from the increasing volume and complexity of FOIA requests. And the Implementation Subcommittee is working to increase the adoption and integration of past Committee recommendations.
