# §2.67. When will the Department make records available without a FOIA request?

- (a) **Each bureau must—**
  - (1) Determine which of its records must be made publicly available under the FOIA (for example, certain frequently requested records);
  - (2) Identify additional records of interest to the public that are appropriate for public disclosure; and
  - (3) **Post those records in FOIA libraries.**
- (b) Because of these proactive disclosures, you are encouraged to review the Department's FOIA libraries before filing a FOIA request. The material you seek may be immediately available electronically at no cost.
