All agencies are required to post four key FOIA statistics each quarter of the fiscal year which are then also displayed on FOIA.gov. The four statistics are:

• the number of requests received during the reporting period,
• the number of requests processed during the reporting period,
• the number of requests in an agency's backlog at the end of the reporting period, and
• the progress being made to close the agency's ten overall oldest pending FOIA requests from the prior fiscal year.
