II. Making a FOIA Request 

 FOIA requests should be sent to: 

 Federal Mediation & Conciliation Service 

 Office of the General Counsel 

 2100 K Street, N.W.

 Tel. (202) 606-5444 

 Fax (202) 606-5345 

The formal rules for the making of FOIA requests to the FMCS are set forth in Chapter 12 of 

Volume 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations. This multiple-volume set is available in all law 

libraries and federal depository libraries. These regulations also can be accessed at 

http://www.fmcs.gov/foia/foia.htm on the World Wide Web. 

 Description of the FMCS: 

Congress established the FMCS in 1947 through the Labor Management Relations Act (TaftHartley) amendments to the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) as an independent agency 

whose mission is “to assist parties to labor disputes in industries affecting commerce to settle 

such disputes through conciliation and mediation.”1 Subsequent acts of Congress and 

Presidential orders have expanded FMCS’s role to providing employment-based mediation 

services to the private sector and alternative dispute resolution (ADR) programs to government 

agencies, as well as promoting and establishing labor-management programs in the private 

sector. 

Under Section 8(d)(1) of the NLRA, 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 NLRA 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. 

 General categories of the agency’s records to which the FOIA exemptions apply: 

The great majority of inquiries to FMCS under 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.

 29 USC § 173. By statute, FMCS’s jurisdiction excludes the rail and airline industries, which are covered by the 

National Mediation Board under the Railway Labor Act.

III. Acronyms, Definitions, and Exemptions 

1. Agency-specific acronyms or terms: 

 Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS) 

 National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) 

 Labor Management Relations Act (Taft-Hartley) 

2. Definitions of terms: 

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. 

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. 

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. 
4 

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. 

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). 
5 

3. 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 purposes, to the 

extent that the production of those records: (A) could reasonably be 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.
