Representatives from several Open Government organizations gathered with agency FOIA professionals at our latest FOIA Requester Roundtable held last week, with a lively exchange of views that centered on the topic of document searches and the challenges that agencies often face in collecting and identifying material responsive to FOIA requests.

Each year, the Department of Justice submits a report to Congress containing a description of its efforts to encourage agency compliance with the FOIA. This report, known as the FOIA Litigation and Compliance Report, describes various aspects of FOIA administration at the department, including the guidance issued, training conducted, and counseling services provided by OIP.
