All documents that the FOIA requires to be available will remain available to the public via the internet, mail, email, or telephone request. Members of the public who wish to make use of the Commission’s Public Reference Room but who must now make use of one of the alternatives could potentially incur net costs if the alternatives are less accessible than using the computer available in the Public Reference Room. However, since the documents at issue are readily available through any computer connected to the internet and can also be obtained by mail and since no person has used the Commission’s Public Reference Room for this purpose in at least two years, we believe any such incremental costs will be small and incurred infrequently.
TL;DR: It looks like it is going to get easier to get FOIA information moving forward?
