FOIA SUPPORT

Across all levels of government, the demand from citizens for greater transparency and access continues to grow. Every year, government agencies receive millions of FOIA requests that require processing and response within a certain time frame. FOIA  requests can be time-consuming, complex, and require specialized  expertise to ensure compliance with legal regulations and procedures.

 APPEREON is uniquely equipped to provide  FOIA support services to helps to meet that demand by helping federal agencies design and implement effective FOIA response approaches. We offer more than 10 years of experience assisting federal clients with responses to document requests in a variety of contexts, including FOIA responses to Congressional inquiries; and responses to litigation requests. Our FOIA professionals have extensive declassification and FOIA/PA experience, and have overseen the declassification/FOIA review processes, case management databases/trackers and analysts who have experience receiving and processing hundreds of requests. 

Our analysts are capable of providing full case review (drafting, initiating, tasking, and reconciling FOIA tasks) to Federal Agencies. APPEREON analysts maintain deep knowledge of Executive Orders (E.O.) and FOIA provisions that designate requirements to information classification and release, including E.O. 12958 as amended and 5 U.S.C. 552, Freedom of Information and Privacy Act (PA).
