      Salary data for state employees in Pennsylvania for 2019. Missing data is intentionally left blank. Note the following about this data, according to the Pennsylvania Office of Administration: This is technically state employee compensation data. Salary is a merely a projection of annual earnings based on an employee's bi-weekly pay at a specific point in time. Compensation is the employee's state-taxable income and includes earnings from salary, as well as overtime and any other types of payments that are considered income. We use Box 16 of an employee’s W-2 statement to report compensation. Even if an employee earned the same salary for an entire year, it would still not match their compensation because certain payroll deductions, such as health care contributions, are not subject to state tax. The compensation report reflects anyone who was employed and earned income at any time from 1/1/19 to 12/31/19. The first names of Corrections Officers are not listed. This is the result of a court ruling some years back that determined this information is not public, due to the potential risk to their safety if a former inmate were to try to locate them. There are certain employees who are totally exempt from being listed in accordance with Pennsylvania's open records law. Exemptions may be related to an employee's job duties, such as certain types of investigators and undercover agents, or due to personal circumstances, such as having a protection from abuse order filed against another person or being the spouse of a judge. The judicial branch is not included in this database.

      OSHA publishes federal and state plan complaints related to COVId-19 every Saturday. This dataset contains all closed complaints from its weekly report. According to a DOL spokesperson, complaints are listed as “closed/final” if they were valid complaints. A valid complaint must state the reason for the inspection request. There must be reasonable grounds to believe that either a violation of the Act or OSHA standard that exposes employees to physical harm exists, serious injury or death exists. A complaint cannot be marked as closed unless one of these activities has occurred. Any valid complaint must be closed either through the phone/fax/email process or by opening a formal inspection. Complaints are closed based on the exchange of information between the employer and OSHA. The Area Office reviews responses from employers regarding actions taken to address the complaint items and determine whether further action is warranted.

      The database of liens filed with the Connecticut Secretary of State is found on the state open data portal. The database only contains active liens as of May 9, 2022.
      Each record is a single lien filed with the Business Services Division of the Office of the Secretary of the State. Most liens are filed under the Uniform Commercial Code, but the source dataset also contains vessel and aircraft liens, and liens filed by the IRS and the state Department of Labor. The full data files contain relevant original columns. New columns with normalized data are used for searches. Data processing was done using open-source software and is documented on the Accountability Project GitHub repository.

      The Consolidated Screening List (CSL) is a list of parties for which the United States Government maintains restrictions on certain exports, reexports, or transfers of items. The CSL is consists of the consolidation of multiple export screening lists of the Departments of Commerce, State, and Treasury. Data availability varies depending on the source list. For example, dates for which the restriction applies do not apply to names from the Specially Designated Nationals List. The consolidated list has been reshaped so both names and aliases can be returned as separate search results.

      This is "a listing of the licenses granted, from Jan 1, 2018 and May 1, 2020" to "do business in or with parties under the Ukraine, Russian and sanctions programs, including CAATSA" from the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control. These are businesses that have been given permission to ignore sanctions in certain circumstances--but until Treasury releases the full licenses, we don't know what those circumstances are.

      Additional fields are available if you download the full file.

      This is from the first interim response to a FOIA Request filed in May, 2020; see their letter explaining what has been produced here. It took the U.S. Treasury Department roughly 17 months to produce this list, although the request--which sought the text of the license documents, not a spreadsheet of them--is still pending after nearly two years. The letter somewhat inaccurately describes the modifications we've agreed to: our understanding is that OFAC will send the full text of a subset of these licenses once they've been redacted.

      It's not clear why Treasury is so slow to process these requests; there is certainly precedent for releasing them. A similar listing of applications for licenses to do business with N. Korea--and the text of the licenses--is available here.

      If you're interested in reviewing any of the licenses, please consider FOIA-ing the license from OFAC yourself. If you're able, ask for expedited handling and cite the license number. Also consider that a license active in 2020 may have been superseded by a newer license, or may have subsequently been canceled or modified.
