DOJ Office of Information Policy's current report on status of FOIA

Summary of Agency Chief FOIA Officer Reports for 2012 and
Assessment of Agency Progress in Implementing the President’s FOIA Memorandum and the Attorney General’s FOIA Guidelines With OIP Guidance for Further Improvement
, August 2012

  • “OIP selected for the assessment seventeen milestones tied to the five key areas addressed in the Chief FOIA Officer Reports. These milestones were chosen as indicative of progress made in each area, but they are by no means exclusive. Agencies include in their Chief FOIA Officer Reports a wide variety of accomplishments and initiatives that have been undertaken to improve FOIA administration and so this assessment is meant to be read in conjunction with the Chief FOIA Officer Reports themselves, which provide a more comprehensive picture of each agency’s work in implementing the FOIA Guidelines. The purpose of the assessment is to provide a visual snapshot of several key areas in FOIA administration. The assessment readily illustrates the many areas where agencies have made real progress and also serves to highlight the areas where further improvement can be made.”
