Can you give 5 minutes for FOIA Online? « The Sunshine in Government Blog

Help the Sunshine in Government Initiative identify which federal agencies are making it easy to view Freedom of Information Act requests. 

From the Sunshine Government blog:

For Sunshine Week 2013, SGI member groups are surveying federal agencies to help promote FOIA Online, a system to make, process, and view FOIA requests – and we need your help!

The “FOIA Online” site, which OGIS, EPA, and the Department of Commerce launched last fall as a web-based aggregation of FOIA requests and responses, is designed for agencies, requesters, and the general public. So far,six agencies are participating. Ultimately, though, we want each of the hundred federal agencies to provide FOIA requests and responses to the collection, to fulfill its potential.

Thus, we are asking you to pick an agency, ask them a few questions and report the answers to us. It should take you 5 minutes.

Find the full list of agencies on the Sunshine in Government blog.
