OGIS Publishes Annual Compliance Report
September 26, 2024
Nearly half of federal agencies include language about FOIA obligations in contracts for goods and services while fewer than one in five agencies continue to have pandemic-related backlogs. Those are among the findings from the most recent Records Management Self-Assessment (RMSA).
The report, “Assessing Freedom of Information Act Compliance through the National Archives and Records Administration’s 2023 Records Management Self-Assessment,” looks at the data collected in the 2023 RMSA from January 8 to March 8, 2024. The RMSA assesses whether federal agencies are complying with statutory and regulatory records management requirements. The ability to find records responsive to FOIA requests is essential to a successful FOIA program, and since 2016, OGIS has included questions on the RMSA to gather government-wide information about FOIA administration. The data helps OGIS fulfill its statutory mandate to review agency compliance with FOIA and complements the observations OGIS makes as the FOIA Ombuds, working to improve the FOIA process for all.

Two Just Stop Oil activists jailed for throwing soup at Van Gogh’s Sunflowers—one got 2 years, the other 20 months.
Fair, too harsh, or not harsh enough?

BREAKING: Poop exploded everywhere landing on the road, cars, people, and pets the moment a sewage pipe pressure test in Nanning failed. This scene of horror shows feces falling from the sky after the initial explosion in China.
