Answer to Question 1

The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) provides for three forms of
disclosure: publication, inspection and copying, and production upon request. Agencies
meet the publication requirement by publishing information in the Federal Register.
The second form of disclosure entails making information available for public inspection
and copying. FOIA 552(a)(1) requires that agencies make certain information available
for inspection and copying. The production-upon-request method is a catch-all, providing
people with access to most public records. All documents, other than those specified for
publication or inspection and copying, fall into this category.
