Regulatory
We engage with the federal regulatory agencies throughout the rulemaking process to ensure that new regulations are not overly burdensome to our members’ businesses.
FACTS & FIGURES
Food Marketing Institute v. Argus Leader involves the interpretation of Exemption 4 to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), which protects from mandatory disclosure all “confidential” private-sector “commercial or financial information” that comes into the government’s possession.
Regulatory Comments Filed
We regularly submit comments on behalf of the industry as regulatory agencies issue new rulemaking and take other regulatory actions.
