What is the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)?The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), enacted by Congress in 1966 under President Lyndon B. Johnson, took effect on July 4, 1967, to provide greater public access to federal government records. FOIA grants American citizens the right to request government documents that are not publicly available, with federal agencies required to respond. However, certain records may be exempt from disclosure under nine exemptions, including personal privacy, national security, and law enforcement concerns. While FOIA does not guarantee access to all requested documents, agencies must provide a valid reason for any denial.

How long will it take to receive my FOIA document?The typical processing time ranges from 2 to 6 months. FOIA USA will provide regular updates on your request status until a response is received from the government agency.

Are there any additional Government charges?If a government agency anticipates that processing fees will surpass your agreed amount (e.g., $25.00), FOIA USA will be notified in writing. At that point, we give customers the chance to modify their request to help lower costs. Once a customer consents to the fees for retrieving records, payment to the agency must be completed within five business days.

Are FOIA Requests ever rejected by the government? (The information below is from foia.gov)Not all records can be released under the FOIA. Congress established certain categories of information that are not required to be released in response to a FOIA request because release would be harmful to a government or private interest. These categories are called “exemptions” from disclosures. Still, even if an exemption applies, agencies may use their discretion to release information when there is no foreseeable harm in doing so and disclosure is not otherwise prohibited by law. There are nine categories of exempt information and each is described below.Exemption 1: Information that is classified to protect national security.Exemption 2: Information related solely to the internal personnel rules and practices of an agency.Exemption 3: Information that is prohibited from disclosure by another federal law.Exemption 4: Trade secrets or commercial or financial information that is confidential or privileged.Exemption 5: Privileged communications within or between agencies, including:
- Attorney-Client Privilege
- Attorney-Work Product Privilege
- Deliberative Process PrivilegeExemption 6: Information that, if disclosed, would invade another individual’s personal privacy.Exemption 7: Information compiled for law enforcement purposes that:
- 7(A). Could reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement proceedings
- 7(B). Would deprive a person of a right to a fair trial or an impartial adjudication
- 7(C). Could reasonably be expected to constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy
- 7(D). Could reasonably be expected to disclose the identity of a confidential source
- 7(E). Would disclose techniques and procedures for law enforcement investigations or prosecutions
- 7(F). Could reasonably be expected to endanger the life or physical safety of any individualExemption 8: Information that concerns the supervision of financial institutions.Exemption 9: Geological information on wells.
