The Consumer Product Safety Commission published a final rule implementing revised FOIA regulations in today's issue of the Federal Register.  The rule is intended to conform agency policy to the FOIA Improvement Act of 2016, as well as update other procedures.  The agency made several changes to its proposed regulations based upon public comments from America Rising and Cause of Action Institute, as well as from "informal input" by the Department of Justice's Office of Information Policy.  The agency's new regulations are effective September 7, 2017.
