II. MAKING A FOIA REQUEST

1. FOIA requests should be sent to: Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, 

Office of the General Counsel, 2100 K Street, N.W., Washington, D.C., 20427. The 

telephone number for the Office of General Counsel is (202) 606-5444. The formal rules 

for the making of FOIA requests to the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service are set 

forth in Chapter 12 of Volume 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations. This multiplevolume set is available in all law libraries and federal depository libraries. These 

regulations also can be accessed at www.fmcs.gov/foia/foia.htm on the World Wide Web. 

2. The FMCS’ primary responsibility is to mediate collective bargaining 

negotiations and to otherwise assist in the development of improved workplace 

relations. 

Under Section 8(d)(1) of the National Labor Relations Act, 29 U.S.C. § 

158(d)(1), employers or the representatives of their employees, who are covered 

by a collective bargaining agreement, must provide written notice to the other party 

60 days prior to the expiration date of a proposed termination or modification of 

the agreement. Section 8(d)(3) of the National Labor Relations Act requires the party 

providing notice to also notify the FMCS of the upcoming contract expiration by filing a 

Notice to Mediation Agencies (F-7 form) in order to provide FMCS with a timely 

opportunity to proffer its mediation services.

The great majority of inquiries to FMCS under the Freedom of Information Act 

(FOIA) are requests for copies of the Notices to Mediation Agencies or for Work 

Stoppages information.

FMCS’ denial of requests under FOIA as based on Exemption 6, involving 

matters of personal privacy, and Exemptions 4 and 5 pertaining to the mediator 

privilege.
III. Acronyms, Definitions, AND EXEMPTIONS 

1. FMCS used for the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service.

2. Tterms used in this Report: 

a. Administrative Appeal – a request to a federal agency asking that it review 

at a higher administrative level a FOIA determination made by the agency at the 

initial request level.

b. Average Number – the number obtained by dividing the sum of a group of 

numbers by the quantity of numbers in the group. For example, of 3, 7, and 14, the 

average number is 8.

c. Backlog – the number of requests or administrative appeals that are pending 

at an agency at the end of the fiscal year that are beyond the statutory time period 

for a response. 

d. Component – for agencies that process requests on a decentralized basis, a 

“component” is an entity, also sometimes referred to as an Office, Division, Bureau, 

Center, or Directorate, within the agency that processes FOIA requests. The FOIA 

now requires that agencies include in their Annual FOIA Report data for both the 

agency overall and for each principal component of the agency. 

e. Consultation – the procedure whereby the agency responding to a FOIA 

request first forwards a record to another agency for its review because that other 

agency has an interest in the document. Once the agency in receipt of the 

consultation finishes its review of the record, it responds back to the agency that 

forwarded it. That agency, in turn, will then respond to the FOIA requester. 

f. Exemption 3 Statute – a federal statute that exempts information from 

disclosure and which the agency relies on to withhold information under subsection 

(b)(3) of the FOIA. 

g. FOIA Request – a FOIA request is generally a request to a federal agency 

for access to records concerning another person (i.e., a “third-party” request), or 

concerning an organization, or a particular topic of interest. FOIA requests also 

include requests made by requesters seeking records concerning themselves (i.e., 

“first-party” requests) when those requesters are not subject to the Privacy Act, such 

as non-U.S. citizens. Moreover, because all first-party requesters should be 

afforded the benefit of both the access provisions of the FOIA as well as those of 

the Privacy Act, FOIA requests also include any first-party requests where an 

agency determines that it must search beyond its Privacy Act “systems of records” 

or where a Privacy Act exemption applies, and the agency looks to FOIA to afford 

the greatest possible access. All requests which require the agency to utilize the 

FOIA in responding to the requester are included in this Report. 

Additionally, a FOIA request includes records referred to the agency for 

processing and direct response to the requester. It does not, however, include 

records for which the agency has received a consultation from another agency. 

(Consultations are reported separately in Section XII of this Report.)

h. Full Grant – an agency decision to disclose all records in full in response to 

a FOIA request.
i. Full Denial – an agency decision not to release any records in response to a 

FOIA request because the records are exempt in their entireties under one or more 

of the FOIA exemptions, or because of a procedural reason, such as when no 

records could be located.

j. Median Number – the middle, not average, number. For example, of 3, 7, 

and 14, the median number is 7. 

k. Multi-Track Processing – a system in which simple requests requiring 

relatively minimal review are placed in one processing track and more voluminous 

and complex requests are placed in one or more other tracks. Requests granted 

expedited processing are placed in yet another track. Requests in each track are 

processed on a first in/first out basis. 

i. Expedited Processing – an agency will process a FOIA 

request on an expedited basis when a requester satisfies the 

requirements for expedited processing as set forth in the statute and 

in agency regulations. 

ii. Simple Request – a FOIA request that an agency using 

multi-track processing places in its fastest (non-expedited) track 

based on the low volume and/or simplicity of the records requested. 

iii. Complex Request – a FOIA request that an agency using 

multi-track processing places in a slower track based on the high 

volume and/or complexity of the records requested. 

l. Partial Grant/Partial Denial – in response to a FOIA request, an agency 

decision to disclose portions of the records and to withhold other portions that are 

exempt under the FOIA, or to otherwise deny a portion of the request for a 

procedural reason. 

m. Pending Request or Pending Administrative Appeal – a request or 

administrative appeal for which an agency has not taken final action in all respects. 

n. Perfected Request – a request for records which reasonably describes such 

records and is made in accordance with published rules stating the time, place, fees 

(if any) and procedures to be followed.

o. Processed Request or Processed Administrative Appeal – a request or 

administrative appeal for which an agency has taken final action in all respects.

p. Range in Number of Days – the lowest and highest number of days to 

process requests or administrative appeals. 

q. Time Limits – the time period in the statute for an agency to respond to a 

FOIA request (ordinarily twenty working days from receipt of a perfected FOIA 

request).

3. Include the following concise descriptions of the nine FOIA exemptions:

a. Exemption 1: classified national defense and foreign relations information

b. Exemption 2: internal agency rules and practices
c. Exemption 3: information that is prohibited from disclosure by another 

federal law

d. Exemption 4: trade secrets and other confidential business information

e. Exemption 5: inter-agency or intra-agency communications that are 

protected by legal privileges

f. Exemption 6: information involving matters of personal privacy

g. Exemption 7: records or information compiled for law enforcement

expected to interfere with enforcement proceedings, (B) would deprive a person of 

a right to a fair trial or an impartial adjudication, (C) could reasonably be expected 

to constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy, (D) could reasonably be 

expected to disclose the identity of a confidential source, (E) would disclose 

techniques and procedures for law enforcement investigations or prosecutions, or 

would disclose guidelines for law enforcement investigations or prosecutions, or 

(F) could reasonably be expected to endanger the life or physical safety of any 

individual

IX. FOIA PERSONNEL AND COSTS

A. Personnel

1. A “full-time FOIA employee” is a full-time employee who performs FOIA 

duties 100% of the time. The number of such employees should be reported in 
Column 1 of the chart below. 

2. An “equivalent full-time FOIA employee” is created by adding together the 

percentages of time dedicated to FOIA duties by employees performing less than 

full-time FOIA duties. Each time 100% is reached, the time expended is counted as 

one “equivalent full-time FOIA employee.” The number of such “equivalent” 

employees should be reported in Column 2 of the chart below. 

3. Employees performing less than full-time FOIA duties are either a) parttime employees who perform FOIA duties all, or part, of the time, or b) full-time 

employees who perform FOIA duties less than 100% of the time. 

4. The following examples illustrate how to calculate the number of 

“equivalent full-time FOIA employees.” 

a. Example #1: Assume three full-time employees with part-time or 

occasional FOIA duties. If Employee #1 performs FOIA duties 50% of the 

time, and Employees #2 and #3 each perform FOIA duties 25% of the time, 

together they perform 100% (50+25+25) FOIA duties. Therefore, the FOIA 

duties of these three employees are the equivalent of 1 “full-time FOIA 

employee,” because a “full-time FOIA employee” is equal to 100%. This 

component would report “1” in Column 2 of the chart below.

b. Example #2: Assume six full-time employees with part-time or 

occasional FOIA duties. If Employees #1, #2, #3 and #4 each perform 

FOIA duties 50% of the time, Employee #5 performs FOIA duties 75% of 

the time, and Employee #6 performs FOIA duties 10% of the time, together 

they perform 285% (50x4 + 75+10) FOIA duties. Because a “full-time 

FOIA employee” is equal to 100%, the FOIA duties of these six employees 

are the equivalent of 2.85 “full-time FOIA employees.” This component 

would report “2.85” in Column 2 of the chart below.

c. Example #3: Assume Employee #1 is a part-time employee who 

works twenty hours/week and performs FOIA duties half of his time. As a 

part-time employee who works twenty hours/week, the most FOIA work 

Employee #1 could perform is 50%. Because Employee #1 performs FOIA 

duties only half of his already part-time schedule, he performs 25% FOIA 

duties (i.e., half of the 50% maximum). Assume Employee #2 is a part-time 

employee who works thirty-two hours/week and performs FOIA duties all

of her time. As a part-time employee who works thirty-two hours/week, the 

most FOIA work Employee #2 could perform is 80%. Because Employee 

#2 performs FOIA duties all of her time, she performs 80% FOIA duties. 

Together, the two employees perform 105% (25+80) FOIA duties. 

Therefore, their combined FOIA duties are the equivalent of 1.05 “full-time 

FOIA employees,” and this component would report “1.05” in Column 2 of 

the chart below. 

B. Costs

1. Processing Costs: Add together all costs expended by the agency for 

processing FOIA requests at the initial request and administrative appeal levels. 

Include salaries of FOIA personnel, overhead, and any other FOIA-related 
expenses. (An agency’s budget will often be a useful resource for this information.)
