To find information about FOIA requests that have already been processed by OIP, you can review and/or download OIP’s FOIA Logs. The FOIA Log includes the request subject, tracking number, and disposition details for requests processed each month for the Offices listed above, and will tell you if records of interest to you have already been processed. In some cases, the FOIA Log will indicate that the request or records were sent to another office for processing (in which case you can go to that office directly for more details), if no records were located on the requested subject, or if other information and assistance was provided in response to the request (such as, information on how and where to make a FOIA request, suggestions for state/local/judicial entities that might have records of interest, websites or other helpful resources, or information on how to use resources available on Justice.gov). Please note that first-party requests submitted by or on behalf of individuals asking for their own records are not included in the FOIA Log.
