Just ahead of Sunshine Week, the Department of Justice has posted its fiscal year 2018 FOIA report. Among other data, DOJ reported that it received a total of 96,875 requests, an 18 percent increase from the previous year, and that it processed 91,383 requests. Notably, the number of DOJ’s backlogged (i.e., overdue) requests increased 35 percent, from 12,863 requests in FY 2017 to 17,411 requests in FY 2018. The Department incurred $83.9 million in processing and litigation costs and collected only $28,000 in fees.
