Summary
This document page is an excerpt from a government report describing the history and workload of the Office of Government Information Services (OGIS), the federal FOIA ombudsman. It details the establishment of OGIS in 2009 under Director Miriam Nisbet, lists key operational milestones in late 2009, and provides a bar chart of caseload statistics from FY 2009 to FY 2013. While part of a House Oversight production often associated with Epstein inquiries, this specific page contains no direct mention of Jeffrey Epstein or his associates; it appears to be administrative background material regarding FOIA processing capabilities.
