The FOIA, Title 5, United States Code, Section 552, was signed into law on July 4, 1966, by President Lyndon B. Johnson. Since then, the FOIA has been amended in 1974, 1986, and most recently, with the enactment of the Electronic Freedom of Information Act Amendments of 1996 (E-FOIA). The E-FOIA and requires federal agencies to make records available both electronically and through public reading rooms. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) implements the FOIA regulation at Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 1004 (10 CFR 1004).
