The Department of Education is seeking public comments on the extension of an existing information collection related to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). The purpose of this collection is to verify the identity of individuals requesting personal records, ensuring accurate and timely processing of these requests. The department is particularly interested in feedback on whether this process is necessary, how it might be improved, and ways to reduce the burden on respondents. The deadline for submitting comments is March 12, 2021.
Simple Explanation
The Education Department wants to make sure that people asking for their own records prove who they are, so they are asking everyone for ideas on how to make this process better and less bothersome. They also want to know if this form called the "Third Party Perjury Form" is really needed to keep things fair and right. 🌟
