2.2: Increasing Proactive Disclosures

Designate a responsible official from the Justice Management Division who will work with the OIP and the Department components to identify information that can be released proactively.

Other Information:

A key aspect of both the President’s and the Attorney General’s FOIA orders is the focus on proactive disclosures of information. When agencies release information proactively, there is less need for the public to make individualized FOIA requests. As mentioned above, the Department will designate a responsible official from the Justice Management Division who will work with the OIP and the Department components to identify information that can be released proactively. By integrating component leadership, program personnel, public affairs officers, as well as component FOIA professionals and the OIP, the Department will ensure it is taking a comprehensive approach to identifying material for proactive disclosures.
