Boeing 737 MAX Documents FOIA Oral Argument on Thursday, April 20

Public Access to Safety and Health Data at All Federal Agencies at Stake

See Flyers Rights Education Fund v. FAA (21-5257) Oral Arguments In Person

Where: United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, Prettyman Courthouse, Courtroom 31, 333 Constitution Ave. NW; (Use 3rd Street entrance by 9 a.m. ET)

When: Thursday, April 20, 9:30 am

Issues: Should the FAA be allowed, under Exemption 4 of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), to keep secret all documents submitted by Boeing to unground the 737 MAX, plus all documents used by the FAA to make its ungrounding decision? This court ruling will apply to all other federal agencies that rely on Exemption 4 of FOIA.

Can agency decisions be based on secret law and data known only to the agency and regulated parties?
