PURPOSE:

This paper conveys to the Commission a copy of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s (NRC’s) annual Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Report for Fiscal Year (FY) 2004.

BACKGROUND:

With the enactment of the Electronic Freedom of Information Act Amendments of 1996, Public Law 104-231, 101 Stat. 3048, Congress revised Subsection (e) of the FOIA, which pertains to the submission of annual FOIA reports by Federal agencies. The revision directed the U. S. Department of Justice (DOJ), in consultation with the Office of Management and Budget, to issue guidelines for Federal agencies to use in preparing and submitting their annual FOIA reports.

Under the guidelines, Federal agencies are to send their annual reports to the DOJ Office of Information and Privacy, and identify in their reports the agency-specific uniform resource locator (URL) for Web-based access to the report. DOJ provides a single point of access on its Web site for all annual FOIA reports, through links to agency FOIA pages, and notifies Congress when all reports have been posted on the Web site.

DISCUSSION:

The NRC staff will submit the attached FY 2004 Annual FOIA Report to the DOJ Office of Information and Privacy, and will place the report on the NRC’s public Web site by February 1, 2005. The URL for the NRC’s FY 2004 Annual FOIA Report will be http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/foia/foia-privacy.html.
