The issue is that you're not debating this topic in good faith.
This act exempts all information relevant to the act from disclosure, and unlike taxes of individuals, everything that this act would be concerned with is a potential risk to both security and individual liberties of every person in the United States as well as many people abroad.
"Any information" submitted that's relevant to the law ("by a party to a covered transaction in accordance with this Act") is exempted from disclosure. The law's purpose is to enable regulation of covered entities and their covered transactions; that's what determines what's relevant to the law.
Likewise, "Any information" generated by the government as required by the law is exempted from disclosure.
This would mean not only is any submission to the federal government in accordance with the act excluded from FOIA, literally everything the government does in regards to the act, including creating procedures, refining and operating those procedures, and even matters such as OIG reviews of procedures, would be blocked from disclosure.
Which renders true the point I made earlier ("The language exempts everything pertaining to this act") which you so glibly dismissed.
