1: FOIA Administration
Improve FOIA implementation. Other Information:
The Department’s Leadership Role - The Freedom of Information Act is the key tool for transparency in government. It is often
through the FOIA that the public learns what the government is doing and holds the government accountable for its decisions
and actions. Improving FOIA implementation is just one component of the Department’s Open Government Initiative, but it is
a critical one. The Department takes seriously its role as the policymaking entity with authority over the FOIA. It must lead
both through policy and by example.
