The revision adds a new use case for referring records under release authority of another Federal Agency. Public comments due April 30, 2026.

This is a standard administrative notice with no new obligations imposed on regulated entities. The respondent burden remains unchanged at 84 annual hours. Compliance teams should be aware that this collection is voluntary and affects individuals or households submitting FOIA/Privacy Act requests. No immediate action required.
