II.

MAKING A FOIA REQUEST
1.

Provide names, addresses, and telephone numbers of all individual agency components that receive FOIA requests.
For the names, addresses, and telephone numbers, visit: https://www.foia.gov/agency-search.html.

2.

Provide a brief description of why some requests are not granted and an overview of certain general categories of the agency's records to
which the FOIA exemptions apply.
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is responsible for providing healthcare, benefits, and services to millions of Veterans and their
families. As a result, many of the records maintained by VA contain sensitive personal information related to medical care, benefits claims,
and military service.
VA frequently invokes FOIAs privacy exemptions (Exemptions 6 and 7(C)) to protect Veterans' and their families' personal privacy in records
such as medical files, claims adjudication records, and personnel records. These exemptions help prevent the unauthorized disclosure of
sensitive personal details, including medical histories, Social Security numbers, and financial information.
Additionally, VA may invoke Exemption 5 to protect records reflecting internal deliberations, such as pre-decisional policy discussions and
legal analyses that are part of the agency’s decision-making process.

In cases involving law enforcement matters (such as VAs Office of Inspector General (OIG) investigations), VA may invoke Exemption 7 to
protect investigative techniques, witness identities, and law enforcement procedures used to detect fraud, waste, and abuse in VA
programs.
While VA is committed to transparency, these exemptions ensure that the agency can fulfill its mission while protecting the privacy of
Veterans and maintaining the integrity of its operations.
3.

Provide a functional electronic link to agency FOIA regulations, including the agency's fee schedule. (NOTE: Agency FOIA Regulations were
formerly listed at Section XI of the human-readable version of the Report).
The Department of Veterans Affairs FOIA Regulations can be accessed in Title 38, Chapter I of the Code of Federal Regulations. You can find
them online at the following link: https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-38/chapter-I.

Include the following definitions of terms 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 "thirdparty" 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.

3.

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).

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 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

Due to the unprecedented influx of PACT Act-related first-party requests for
information, VA had approximately 5,000 Privacy Act/FOIA requests received in FY24
that required some FOIA processing in FY25 but were not entered into the eFOIA tool or
included in the backlog in FY24. All of these Privacy Act/FOIA hybrid cases are closed
almost immediately after opening them with minor redactions applied.
