Section 552(a)(3) is amended by adding at the end the following: Not later than two months after the date on which the head of an agency makes a record available to a person under this paragraph, the head of the agency shall make available on the website of the agency, at no cost to the public and in a searchable, sortable, downloadable, and machine-readable format, electronic copies of the request for the record and any response provided to the person that made the request for the record (including the record made available to the person), unless the head of the agency determines that the excessive cost of making such copies available on the website would place an undue burden on the agency. .
