The NLRB reopened from shutdown status on November 13, 2025. Due dates to file or serve most documents were tolled during the period of the shutdown, although due dates cannot be tolled for filing and service of unfair labor practice charges, applications for awards of fees and other expenses under the Equal Access to Justice Act, and certain representation petitions. For documents where tolling applies, the terms are that for each day on which the Agency’s offices were closed for all or any portion of the day, one day is added to the time for filing or service of the document. If the new due date falls on a weekend or holiday, the new due date will be moved to the next business day. For example, if the original due date was October 7, 2025 and the shutdown lasted 43 days, the revised due date is November 19, 2025. See chart for revised due dates.

FOIA Quarterly Reports

On a quarterly basis, the NLRB is required to report four key FOIA statistics to the Department of Justice. This includes:

  • the number of requests received during the quarter,
  • the number of requests processed during the quarter,
  • the number of requests in an agency’s backlog at the end of the quarter, and
  • the progress being made to close the agency’s ten overall oldest pending FOIA requests.

This information is available here in two file types pdf and xml, for download by the Department of Justice. A more user-friendly format is made available by DOJ on www.FOIA.gov. Please see FOIA.gov for NLRB’s FOIA Quarterly Reports for FY 2022 and later.
