Submitting a FOIA request

FCA will disclose any records that are not protected by one of the nine FOIA exemptions or one of the three FOIA exclusions. If an exempt record contains nonexempt portions that can be separated from the whole with reasonable effort, FCA will release those portions.

FCA may charge a fee for document search, review, and reproduction. The total fee depends on the identity of the requester and purpose of the request. For more information, see our fees for FOIA requests.

Important: Before submitting a FOIA request, please see the documents available through Reports and publications. Also see the FOIA reading room panel on the Freedom of Information Act page. It is possible that you do not have to submit a FOIA request to obtain the information you want.
