What to Report to the OIG Hotline
If you know about waste, fraud, abuse, misconduct, or whistleblower reprisal relating to a National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) employee, program, contract, or grant, report it to the NARA OIG Hotline. This includes thefts of records or other holdings from NARA.
The NARA OIG has jurisdiction over disclosures involving NARA employees, programs, contracts, and grants. The NARA OIG also has jurisdiction to investigate allegations of whistleblower retaliation involving employees of NARA contractors, subcontractors, grantees, and subgrantees; and NARA employees who believe their security clearance or access to classified information has been taken in retaliation for whistleblowing. More information on whistleblowing can be found at https://naraoig.oversight.gov/whistleblowers.
