OGIS Reports and Recommendations
The Office of Government Information Services reports to the President, Congress, and the public on the activities and accomplishments of the organization. OGIS regularly solicits and suggests improvements to FOIA through best practices documents, in the course of facilitating resolutions to FOIA disputes, in our Dispute Resolution Skills Training for FOIA Professionals program, in posts on our blog, at requester and agency roundtable meetings, and through review of agency FOIA regulations. For more information regarding the reports and/or recommendations, or to suggest improvements to FOIA, please contact us at (202) 741-5770, toll-free at 1-877-684-6448 or via e-mail at ogis@nara.gov.
