Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Requests
The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requires agencies to make records available for public inspection by means of the public contacting the appropriate agency(s) in written or electronic format, as determined by that agency. According to FOIA guidelines, each agency is responsible for determining which records must be made publicly available, for identifying additional records of interest to the public that are appropriate for public disclosure, and for posting and indexing such records.
