Summary
This document is page 16 of a larger report regarding the Office of Government Information Services (OGIS) and its recommendations for improving the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). It details efforts in 2012 and 2013 to implement dispute resolution strategies to avoid litigation, involving pilot programs with agencies like NARA. While the document bears a 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT' Bates stamp, the text itself contains no direct mention of Jeffrey Epstein or his associates; it appears to be administrative documentation likely included in a broader oversight production.

RESOLUTION FOR FOIA CONFLICTS
OGIS expanded its dispute resolution program to connect FOIA professionals,
legal counsel, and dispute resolution professionals to embed dispute resolution
firmly into an agency’s FOIA process. The goal is to identify issues that are
ripe for partnership and explore ways to work together to prevent and resolve
disputes as well as avoid litigation.

ripe for partnership and explore ways to work together to prevent and resolve
disputes as well as avoid litigation.
In 2013, OGIS identified several agencies, including OGIS’s parent agency,
NARA, to help to pilot a project designed to prevent and resolve disputes as
well as avoid litigation. OGIS has begun meeting with each of these agencies
to determine the types of FOIA disputes that result in litigation and to explore
ways to incorporate dispute resolution into their FOIA processes. (OGIS
also has worked with the Administrative Conference of the United States
to promote research into FOIA litigation to inform this process.) OGIS will
continue to pilot this project in FY 2014.
