The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) provides that any person has the right to request
access to federal agency records or information. Like all federal agencies,
the Department of Labor (DOL) is required to disclose records requested
in writing by any person. However, agencies may withhold information
pursuant to nine exemptions and three exclusions contained
in the statute. FOIA applies only to federal agencies and does not create a right of access
to records held by Congress, the courts, or by state or local government agencies.
In an effort to assist the public, below are "quick links" to specific
FOIA-related information.
Please use the link below if you are unsure of how to make a FOIA request.
We encourage the public to explore WHD and DOL’s Web sites
or use our search engine to see if the information
you seek is already available to the public via the Web.
