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 OWCP 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.
