FAS, like other                        Federal agencies, is required to make                        records accessible to requesters. Many                        documents are available to the public                        without having to file a FOIA request.                        These include press releases, speeches,                        technical publications, statistics,                        congressional testimony, program                        regulations, and some letters and                        memoranda. The                        following questions can help guide you                        through the FAS FOIA request process:**What                        information is not available through                        FOIA?****How to                        request records under FOIA?****What fees                        or costs are involved?** *--**Fee                        Categories* *--**Fee                        Waivers***What                        happens to my request?****How long                        will it take to answer my request?****Sample                        FOIA Request Letter****How does                        the Privacy Act relate to the FOIA?****FAS                        Records System****FAS FOIA                        Annual Report** For further information,                        call Sally Klusaritz, Freedom of                        Information Officer, on (202) 720-7115 or                        email at [email protected]
