If youÕve tried to surf the net and find out what frequently requested information has been posted to agency websites recently, youÕve probably been greatly disappointed. Under the Electronic Freedom of Information Act Amendments of 1996 agencies are required to post frequently requested FOIA material on their websites….Many agency websites donÕt even have a link to “Frequently Requested Material”, or FAQs. The agencies that do have the link update the sites infrequently and have very little material on them.
