- Here's the Future of Open Government, Courtesy of ... The Environmental Protection Agency?
- By Sarah Lai Stirland. Tech President, Monday, March 26, 2012. "Several members of Congress got a tantalizing glimpse of one possible model of the future of open government recently, and it didn't come from the Justice Department, the agency at the federal level that is primarily in charge of ensuring agencies' compliance with Freedom of Information Act. Instead, the model came from the Environmental Protection Agency. If everything goes according to schedule, by October 1 members of the public should be able to file FOIA requests through a single portal simultaneously to several different federal agencies, and be able to track the progress of their requests online. Once made available, those documents would also be stored in the system and would be searchable online for the wider public, and not just to the requester. .."
