OGIS Releases Compliance Assessment of U.S. Postal Service FOIA Program

Nat'l Archives & Records Admin., FOIA Ombudsman, Aug. 22, 2018

We are happy to announce the publication of our compliance assessment report of the U.S. Postal Service (USPS). USPS invited us to conduct this assessment as part of their ongoing efforts to strengthen their FOIA program.

OGIS’s agency assessments are based on direct observation and review of USPS’s FOIA case files, analysis of applicable data and documents, and interviews with agency employees and officials. Our agency assessment reports are intended to provide sufficient detail about the FOIA program’s processes to understand its operations and provide actionable recommendations. These recommendations are based on our knowledge of FOIA practices across the government.
