Office of Information Policy [Department of Justice] Law and Legal Definition
The Office of Information Policy (OIP) is a part of the U.S. Department of Justice which is responsible for encouraging agency compliance with the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). The Office ensures that the President’s FOIA Memorandum and the Attorney General's FOIA Guidelines are fully implemented across the government. It also develops and issues policy guidance to all agencies on proper implementation of the FOIA. The OIP provides individualized guidance to agencies on questions relating to the application of the FOIA, regularly conducts training programs for FOIA personnel across the government, and provides general advice to the public on use of the FOIA. The OIP requires all agencies to report their FOIA compliance through submission of Annual FOIA Reports and Chief FOIA Officer Reports.
