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. However,
agencies may withhold information pursuant to nine exemptions and three
exclusions contained in the statute. FOIA applies only to federal agencies and
does not create a right of access to records held by Congress, the courts, or
by state or local government agencies.
Consult our Guide for Requesting FOIA Records and list of
Individual Components
& Responsible FOIA Officials if you plan to make a FOIA request. We
also encourage you to browse About DOL,
Newsroom, and Statistics, Research, & Publications, which
contain information already available to the public. Below are links to our
Department's FOIA resources. We have also compiled a listing of
other FOIA resources.
