Freedom of Information Act and Privacy
Act Requests
NRC administers policies, programs, and procedures
to ensure NRC compliance with the Freedom
of Information Act (FOIA) and the Privacy
Act (PA), 5 U.S.C. 552 and 5 U.S.C. 552a. NRC's regulations on
public records are found in 10
CFR Part 9 of the Code of Federal Regulations. NRC's Deputy Executive Director for Corporate Management is designated as the NRC Chief FOIA Officer.
The FOIA generally provides any person the right, enforceable in court, to
obtain access to Federal agency records.
The objectives of the Privacy Act are to restrict disclosure of personally
identifiable records maintained by Federal agencies, grant individuals rights
of access to agency records maintained on themselves, grant individuals the
right to seek amendment of agency records maintained on themselves, and to
require agencies to comply with statutory norms for collection, maintenance,
and dissemination of records.
