Suggestions for Audits, Evaluations and Pending Projects
As part of our efforts to be the best in public service and oversight for a better environment tomorrow, we welcome suggestions for
audits and evaluations as well as any input relating to our notification memo topics.
Audits and evaluations provide accountability and transparency for government programs.
They provide objective analysis and information for agency decision makers.
We conduct audits and evaluations
of U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) activities, contracts, grants and programs that examine ways in which EPA
management can improve program performance and operations, reduce costs, and improve public accountability. We also
serve as the Inspector General for the U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board. Your suggestions will
be considered as the Office of Inspector General considers new projects.
To make suggestions for audits or evaluations, please contact us via one of the following methods:

FOIA Requests
What are the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and the Privacy Act (PA)?
The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) provides that any person has a right to obtain access to Federal agency records, except to the extent that such records are protected from public disclosure by one of nine exemptions. The Privacy Act (PA) provides access to one of ten nondisclosure documents except for those protected by the exemptions. The PA protects from disclosure all personal identifiable records in the Government’s possession, with certain exceptions established by statute.
Who can file a FOIA or PA request?
Anyone can file a FOIA request. Any citizen or lawfully-admitted alien can file a PA request. Either type of request must be made in writing or submitted in an electronic format. The EPA OIG does not accept requests by phone.
http://www.epa.gov/foia/guide.html
How long does it take to get a response under FOIA?
Once an agency receives a FOIA request, the agency has 20 working days to make a decision on the request.
http://www.epa.gov/foia/broc.htm
How can you file a FOIA and PA request with the EPA?
1. FOIAonline (Preferred / Fastest Method)
FOIAonline allows you to electronically submit FOIA requests, modify requests, communicate with the EPA about the
status of a request, search previously submitted requests, view responsive documents that are cleared for
release, access a dashboard with information about the status of a request, and file an appeal.
Access FOIAonline

Reading Room - Guide to Reference Materials
FOIA requires that agencies have a “reading room” to inspect publicly available documents. The reports webpage is available to serve this purpose, here on our public website.
