ACTION:
SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce
publishes this interim final rule to
amend its regulations that establishes
the date that the Department uses in
identifying those records that it may
consider when responding to a Freedom
of Information Act request. The
Department takes this action pursuant to
a court order that enjoins it from further
use of its current regulations.
DATES: This rule is effective on June 1,
2006. Comments must be submitted on

ADDRESSES: The public may submit
comments to: Brenda Dolan,
Departmental Freedom of Information

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April
24, 2006, the United States District
Court, District of Oregon determined
that the Department of Commerce
violated the Freedom of Information Act
for failing to make a timely
determination on an information
request, which subsequently resulted in
an improper withholding under the Act.
The court ordered the Department to
refrain from using ‘‘the day that the
proper component receives the request’’
as the cut-off date for determining those
records that are responsive to a FOIA
request. Pursuant to the court’s order,
the Department amends paragraph 4.5(a)
of 15 CFR Part 4 to establish a new cutoff date for records that are to be
considered in a FOIA request. Upon the
effectiveness of this rule, the records
that are considered responsive to a
FOIA request will include those records
that are within the Department’s
possession and control as of the date
that the Department begins its search for
them. This policy is consistent with that
adopted by other agencies including the
U.S. Department of Justice.
Classification
It has been determined that this notice
is not significant for purposes of E.O.
12866.
The Department finds good cause to
waive the rulemaking requirements of 5
U.S.C. 553 because it is impracticable
and contrary to the public interest. In
order to implement, in a timely manner,
the Department’s new regulation that
establishes the date that the Department
uses in identifying those records that it
may consider when responding to a
request for records, the Department
finds that it is impracticable and
contrary to the public interest to allow
for prior notice and opportunity for
public comment. If the Department
delayed the effectiveness of this action,
the Department would violate the April
24, 2006 order to refrain from further
use of the regulations. Therefore, in
order to ensure timely compliance with
the Court’s order, the Department makes
this rule effective upon publication.
Because notice and opportunity for
comment are not required pursuant to 5
U.S.C. 553 or any other law, the
analytical requirements of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601
et seq.) are inapplicable. Therefore, a
regulatory flexibility analysis is not
required and has not been prepared.
