Agency Documents -
Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)
The documents listed and linked below are to serve as a resource to ONDA's
members and the general public. ONDA has obtained these documents via the
Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. Sec. 552, which allows any person
to obtain federal agency documents and records, except for a narrow list of records
specifically exempt from disclosure.
ONDA requests these types of records to help clarify the BLM's, Forest Service's,
and other agencies' responsibilities under all relevant statutes, regulations, and
management plans. The documents help provide an indication of whether the agencies
through their activities and operations have carried out their responsibilities.
Release of this information also benefits the public, which has an interest in
knowing whether and to what extent agecnies are satisfying their statutory and
regulatory requirements with respect to the public lands in Eastern Oregon.
As ONDA obtains agency documents using the FOIA, we will post copies of these
documents, indexes of documents obtained, or summaries of FOIA response contents to
this site. You are welcome to contact us if you are interested in viewing any of the
agency documents we have obtained via the FOIA.
