5.3.7: Milestones to Reduce Pending Backlog of Outstanding FOIA Requests

Reduce our backlog of both initial requests and appeals by 10 percent each year for the next several years.

Other Information:

The DOT’s goal is to reduce our backlog of both initial requests and appeals by 10 percent each year for the next several years. We believe we can accomplish this goal based on the previously-described “Actions Already Taken” and by implementing the previously-described “Actions to Be Taken” and “Additional Actions Recommended.” The DOT FOIA Officer will check components’ progress in implementing the “Actions to Be Taken” and “Additional Actions Recommended” at the DOT’s monthly FOIA meetings. By December 30, 2010, the DOT FOIA Officer will make a final evaluation of progress in meeting backlog reduction goals and make further recommendations to the Chief FOIA Officer, as appropriate.
