MAKING A FOIA REQUEST

1. Names, addresses, and telephone numbers of all individual agency components
that receive FOIA requests.
For the names, addresses, and telephone numbers, visit:
https://www.foia.gov/agency-search.html.

2. Brief description of why some requests are not granted and an overview of
certain general categories of the agency’s records to which the FOIA exemptions
apply.
The Department of Justice is the Executive Branch’s principal law enforcement
authority. As a result, many of the records maintained by the Department of
Justice involve law enforcement matters. The Department of Justice invokes the
FOIA’s two privacy exemptions, more than the rest of the other exemptions
combined, to prevent unwarranted invasions of the personal privacy of
individuals mentioned in law enforcement records. The Department of Justice
also protects the identities of confidential informants who provide information to
investigators, as well as details about investigative techniques and procedures. In
the general litigation context, the Department of Justice protects information
covered by the civil discovery privileges.

3. Electronic link to agency FOIA regulations.
The Department of Justice FOIA Regulations contained in 28 C.F.R. §§ 16.1-16.12
(2023) can be accessed at http://www.justice.gov/oip/doj-foia-regulations.

III.

DEFINITIONS, EXEMPTIONS, AND COMPONENT ACRONYMS

1. Definitions of terms used in this Report:
a. Administrative Appeal – a request to a federal agency asking that it
review at a higher administrative level a FOIA determination made by
the agency at the initial request level.
b. Average Number – the number obtained by dividing the sum of a
group of numbers by the quantity of numbers in the group. For
example, of 3, 7, and 14, the average number is 8.
c. Backlog – the number of requests or administrative appeals that are
pending at an agency at the end of the fiscal year that are beyond the
statutory time period for a response.
d. Component – for agencies that process requests on a decentralized
basis, a “component” is an entity, also sometimes referred to as an
Office, Division, Bureau, Center, or Directorate, within the agency that
processes FOIA requests. The FOIA now requires that agencies include
in their Annual FOIA Report data for both the agency overall and for
each principal component of the agency.
e. Consultation – the procedure whereby the agency responding to a
FOIA request first forwards a record to another agency or component
within the same agency for its review because that other agency has an
interest in the document. Once the agency in receipt of the
consultation finishes its review of the record, it responds back to the
agency or component within the same agency that forwarded it. That
agency, in turn, will then respond to the FOIA requester.
f. Exemption 3 Statute – a federal statute that exempts information
from disclosure and which the agency relies on to withhold information
under subsection (b)(3) of the FOIA.
g. FOIA Request – a FOIA request is generally a request to a federal
agency for access to records concerning another person (i.e., a “thirdparty” request), or concerning an organization, or a particular topic of
interest. FOIA requests also include requests made by requesters
seeking records concerning themselves (i.e., “first-party” requests)

when those requesters are not subject to the Privacy Act, such as nonU.S. citizens. Moreover, because all first-party requesters should be
afforded the benefit of both the access provisions of the FOIA as well as
those of the Privacy Act, FOIA requests also include any first-party
requests where an agency determines that it must search beyond its
Privacy Act “systems of records” or where a Privacy Act exemption
applies, and the agency looks to FOIA to afford the greatest possible
access. All requests which require the agency to utilize the FOIA in
responding to the requester are included in this Report. Additionally, a
FOIA request includes records referred to the agency for processing
and direct response to the requester. It does not, however, include
records for which the agency has received a consultation from another
agency. (Consultations are reported separately in Section XII of this
Report.)
h. Full Grant – an agency decision to disclose all records in full in
response to a FOIA request.
i. Full Denial – an agency decision not to release any records in
response to a FOIA request because the records are exempt in their
entireties under one or more of the FOIA exemptions, or because of a
procedural reason, such as when no records could be located.
j. Median Number – the middle, not average, number. For example,
of 3, 7, and 14, the median number is 7.
k. Multi-Track Processing – a system in which simple requests
requiring relatively minimal review are placed in one processing track
and more voluminous and complex requests are placed in one or more
other tracks. Requests granted expedited processing are placed in yet
another track. Requests in each track are processed on a first in/first
out basis.
i.

Expedited Processing – an agency will process a FOIA
request on an expedited basis when a requester satisfies the
requirements for expedited processing as set forth in the statute
and in agency regulations.

ii.

Simple Request – a FOIA request that an agency using multitrack processing places in its fastest (non-expedited) track based
on the low volume and/or simplicity of the records requested.

iii.

Complex Request – a FOIA request that an agency using
multi-track processing places in a slower track based on the high
volume and/or complexity of the records requested.

l. Partial Grant/Partial Denial – in response to a FOIA request, an
agency decision to disclose portions of the records and to withhold
other portions that are exempt under the FOIA, or to otherwise deny a
portion of the request for a procedural reason.
m. Pending Request or Pending Administrative Appeal – a
request or administrative appeal for which an agency has not taken
final action in all respects.
n. Perfected Request – a request for records which reasonably
describes such records and is made in accordance with published rules
stating the time, place, fees (if any) and procedures to be followed.
o. Processed Request or Processed Administrative Appeal – a
request or administrative appeal for which an agency has taken final
action in all respects.
p. Range in Number of Days – the lowest and highest number of days
to process requests or administrative appeals.
q. Time Limits – the time period in the statute for an agency to respond
to a FOIA request (ordinarily twenty working days from receipt of a
perfected FOIA request).
2. Descriptions of the nine FOIA exemptions:
a. Exemption 1: classified national defense and foreign relations
information
b. Exemption 2: information that is related solely to the internal
personnel rules and practices of an agency
c. Exemption 3: information that is prohibited from disclosure by
another federal law
d. Exemption 4: trade secrets and other confidential business
information
e. Exemption 5: inter-agency or intra-agency communications that are
protected by legal privileges
f. Exemption 6: information involving matters of personal privacy

g. Exemption 7: records or information compiled for law enforcement
purposes, to the extent that the production of those records (A) could
reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement proceedings, (B)
would deprive a person of a right to a fair trial or an impartial
adjudication, (C) could reasonably be expected to constitute an
unwarranted invasion of personal privacy, (D) could reasonably be
expected to disclose the identity of a confidential source, (E) would
disclose techniques and procedures for law enforcement investigations
or prosecutions, or would disclose guidelines for law enforcement
investigations or prosecutions, or (F) could reasonably be expected to
endanger the life or physical safety of any individual
h. Exemption 8: information relating to the supervision of financial
institutions
i. Exemption 9: geological information on wells
