We are relying solely on that system for all of the aggregate FOIA data reported in this year's report. Relying on the system, in lieu of disparate tracking methodologies, in addition to more consistent usage of the system has allowed for more accurate reporting of the agency's FOIA activities, and has resulted in the identification of requests that may not have been counted in last year's FOIA report. Accordingly, the number of requests pending at the start of the physical year is different from what was reported as the number pending in last year's FOIA report. This report has been updated to reflect a change from 943 to 1,260 requests pending from the prior Fiscal Year. DOL will use its central FOIA tracking system for reporting going forward. In prior years, FOIA requests for records maintained by entities within the Office of the Secretary (OSEC) were processed by the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration and Management (OASAM) and inclded in the aggregate data reported for that component. However, during the Fiscal Year, OSEC was established as a free standing component for the purpose of FOIA.59939011017NoRecords1683Referred169Withdrawn141FeeRelated41NotDescribed75ImproperRequest30NotAgency84Duplicate170Other4148324378813NoRecords132Referred21Withdrawn9FeeRelated38NotDescribed3ImproperRequest2NotAgency16Duplicate15Other137593029NoRecords32Referred6Withdrawn9ImproperRequest8NotAgency1Duplicate1Other11261851712NoRecords92Referred2Withdrawn1FeeRelated3NotDescribed4ImproperRequest7NotAgency1Duplicate13Other453821321094167NoRecords483Referred9Withdrawn39FeeRelated5NotDescribed1ImproperRequest13NotAgency7Duplicate125Other41211681597488NoRecords196Referred4Withdrawn96FeeRelated28NotDescribed6ImproperRequest4NotAgency5Duplicate362252122510528NoRecords188Referred23Withdrawn29FeeRelated1NotDescribed35ImproperRequest9NotAgency10Duplicate23Other4317194694168NoRecords438Withdrawn34FeeRelated86NotDescribed33ImproperRequest37NotAgency57Duplicate65Other157180069715NoRecords80Withdrawn31FeeRelated6ImproperRequest4NotAgency62Duplicate1Other16345108194NoRecords32Referred2Withdrawn2ImproperRequest1NotAgency4Duplicate4Other317927854NoRecords8Referred1Withdrawn2Other2129132113NoRecords25Referred2NotDescribed1NotAgency1Other379430NoRecords6Referred1Withdrawn1NotAgency2171100NoRecords10Withdrawn6NotAgency128210NoRecords16Referred3NotDescribed1Other1241001200NoRecords17Withdrawn1NotAgency4Other1842560NoRecords10NotAgency324230NoRecords1217120NoRecords14Withdrawn1NotAgency1Duplicate120000NoRecords3311172NoRecords16Referred2Withdrawn11NotDescribed1ImproperRequest1NotAgency4Other77210110NoRecords28NotAgency1Other151000NoRecords1Withdrawn1Other24373768641390NoRecords3522Referred245Withdrawn414FeeRelated208NotDescribed160ImproperRequest116NotAgency264Duplicate454Other75518129Requester was asked to narrow search with no response19Request Transferred43Duplicate Request18Records Destroyed39Case file not closed - Still Open289Information available on public website3Overtaken by litigation3414Closed and reopened as a new FOIA11Request overbroad11Request not perfected27Under contest/investigation3Duplicate Request1545Requester was asked to narrow search with no response12Request not perfected24Requester is a fugitive1Records Destroyed441N/A00Requester was asked to narrow search with no response12Request not perfected27Records Destroyed in 19973Transferred to another office143Duplicate Request21Records Destroyed4Requester was asked to narrow search with no response50Request not perfected66Misdirected FOIAs16157Requester was asked to narrow search with no response1616Transcripts not received from reporting company;

US Department of Labor failed to meet its FY2011 backlog reduction gal of 10% for initial FOIA request. Since the end of FY10, DOL's FOIA backlog has incresed by 18.5%/ We attribute this increase, in part, to the decision to use the Departmental tracking system as the sole source of date for FOIA reporting. As stated previously, DOL believes that the use of the system has allowed the agency to identify requests that may not have been counted in last year's FOIA report. DOL will continue to encourage the reduction of backlogged requests in accordance with the Open Government Directive.The US Department of Labor continues to work to reduce the number of appeals pending with the agency, and has achieved substantial success.
