NASA Sends FOIA Implementation Final Rule to OMB

Yesterday, the OMB’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) announced that it had received a final rule from NASA on “Procedures for Implementing the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)”. There is no record of a notice of proposed rulemaking, so this must be a direct final rule. 

There is no entry in the 2026 Unified Agenda for this rulemaking.

House NASA Budget Request Hearing – 4-22-26

 Yesterday, the House Science, Space, and Technology Committee added a hearing to be held today on “A Review of the President’s Budget Request for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration for Fiscal Year 2027”. The sole witness was NASA Administrator Isaacman (statement here). 

It is interesting to note that the opening statements from both Chair Babin and Ranking Member Lofgren expressed concerns about cuts proposed in the President’s FY 2027 budget request. A video of the hearing is available here.
