Dear Yilun Cheng:
This letter is to acknowledge receipt of your January 26, 2021, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, which was forwarded to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA), Directorate of Enforcement Programs (DEP) for response. Your request has been assigned FOIA tracking number: 04067. Please refer to this number in any future correspondence.
You requested the following information:
A copy of any call logs or materials used to track incoming complaints to the OSHA hotline 1-800-321-6742.
If there exist any weekly, monthly, quarterly, or annual reports regarding the hotline, I will accept those instead of the above-requested records .
We are processing this request.
While we are mindful of the 20 days allotted in the FOIA Statute, please be aware that all FOIA's are cleared through the Office of the Solicitor (SOL), which usually protracts processing time. Additionally, we are experiencing a backlog of requests, as processing weekly COVID-19 data for public consumption is given priority, followed by time allotment to processing FOIA requests received in queue prior to your request. Please be aware of these considerations while you await your response.
Sincerely,
April Streets

DIRECTORATE OF ENFORCEMENT PROGRAMS

Dear Ms. Cheng:
We have begun processing your request, however, in order to complete processing, we need a timeline for which you request hotline records. For instance, are you seeking the last three years of call logs, etc.?
If a response to this inquiry is not received by 3/18/21, your request will be administratively closed. However, you may submit a new one.
Best
