The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) is a useful method to request information from agencies that you cannot easily find or is not available online. This page is intended to help you find that information and be your "one-stop-shop" for answers to common FOIA requests that the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration and Management receives on a regular basis.

The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) provides that any person has the right to request access to federal agency records or information. Like all federal agencies, the Department of Labor (DOL) is required under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to disclose records requested in writing by any person. Please note that agencies may withhold information pursuant to nine exemptions and three exclusions contained in the statute.

The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration and Management (OASAM) is organized into a number of Centers and Offices.

If you know with Center or Office maintains the records you are seeking, please include that information in your FOIA request.

You may submit a FOIA request to the Department of Labor online, via postal mail, via fax, or via email. Learn How to Submit a FOIA Request

Should you have questions or concerns regarding an in-process FOIA request you may contact OASAM's FOIA Service Center.
