Dear Mr. Kick:
This is in response to your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request submitted electronically to the U.S. Department of Labor at: FOIARequests@dol.gov<mailto:FOIARequests@dol.gov>.

The FOIA applies to existing records and does not require agencies to conduct research, or generate documents based on that research. The FOIA requires that agencies generally disclose responsive records unless agencies are required to withhold requested records, either in whole or in part, due to one or more of the nine established exemptions.
In response to your request, the Women's Bureau is releasing in full an electronic copy of the FOIA log covering 2017, which includes a field showing the subject of each request and a field for the final disposition.
