I

arn responding io your Freedorn r¡f Infognatian Act (FOIA) request. In your ]efter you
requwt copies of all technioal slar:dmds incorpc'rat*d by referenee into tlre Code cf

Fcderal Regulations (CFR).

Under thç FOtrÂ,, Fedçr¿l Registerpublications, inoluding the datly F'ederøl Register xd
the CX'R. are not subject ûo the request for¡ecords provisions of the taw, -See 5 U.S.C.
552{a)(3)(A) (FOIA re.quests do not applyto rçcords made avâiiable through the LFR
under 5 U.S,C. 552(aXl)i. Ailditionally, ttre FOIA states that technical standards that a¡e
"reas:onably availa'úle tc tbe class of person affectd thereby [are] deemed published in
the Federal Regisier when incorporated by referencc thrr'çin with the approvai of the
Ðirpctor of the Fedsal Register," See 5 U.S.C. 552{a}(1), Because these eta¡dards are
deertedpubliehed in the Federsl Regßter when ihe Þileetor åpproves agencies
in+orporafion by reference requesls these staudårds åTe not subject xo the request
provision of the FOIA.

As you ccrectly poínt put in yorn letter, the Director af th,e Federal Register established
reguiations in 1 tlFRprut 51 t1ial goiern the incorporation byreferÈnce aprproialproçess.
Ås part of ihis process, the standnrd rnust he readily avaiiablp and useable to the class of
perecrns affected by the regulation. i gflR 51.7(a[4). In addifion, secnion 51.9(b.X4)
*make ân
requÌres that ageocies
oJücial showing" that ttle pübücation is available by
setting out in ihe regulation texi *'hare and bow copies of the stand.ards may be inspecfed
and obtaibed fsrthe "maririim ccmvEniearoe cf the us*r.- I cER 51.g(bx4), As stated
in the OFRtegrrlationso agencies are to list the publisher urforsation so that rcßu1aled
ontities car: prirchase a copy sfthe standard that has been incorporated by refernarce. 1
CIR 51-9. Aciditionally, agencies need to líst Eontact ínforrnation for the ageËcy and for
tbe OFR so that fte class of affecied parties may inspect the inco¡poralied matcrials eithçr
at the agency issning the regulation or at the oER. see, I cFR s L3(aX3) snd s l .9(bXa),
'lVhile the standards themselves are ¡ot set out ín their urtirety ia the CFR text, there is
ønougfo infoænetion s¿t out in the regulation text that ålfeÆted pârliÈ$ can obtai¡r or
inspect these staîdards in o¡der to compiy with the regulatiun.

Üontrsry to yrw suggestions, thøre is no fþderal law, regulation. or Prssidetrtial
mesrolandum thot require.s st¿rrdæds incorpor*ted by referance to be sel out jn fir1l texf
