The Senate requested the Office of Inspectors General to analyze the involvement of non-career officials in the FOIA response process for the period of January 1, 2007 to present. Our analysis identified instances of inaccurate or incomplete information in the FOIA files and database system and inconsistencies between NEA’s annual report and the data on www.foia.gov. Our review of NEA’s FOIA website found broken links and incomplete information. NEA also does not have a process in place to ensure non-career officials are informed of their responsibilities for the handling of FOIA requests timely.
