How to Make a FOIA Request

All FOIA requests must be in writing and should include the following information: A. Requestor's name, address, and telephone number. B. A description of the records being sought. The records should be identified as specifically as possible. A request for specific records that are releasable to the public can be processed much more quickly than a request for "all information" on a particular subject. Also fees for a more specific and limited request will generally be less. C. Separate requests should be submitted for each firm or product involved. D. A statement concerning willingness to pay fees, including any limitations. Questions relating to FOI requests may be addressed to the Division of the Freedom of Information Offices at (301) 796-3900. All FOIA requests must be in writing. Requests should be mailed to the following address: Food and Drug Administration Division of Freedom of Information Office of Shared Services Office of Public Information and Library Services 12420 Parklawn Drive ELEM-1029 Rockville, MD 20857 Or requests may be sent via fax to: fax number (301) 827-9267. If you experience difficulty sending a fax, please call (301) 796-3900. NEW! Requesters can now submit a FOIA request online: http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/foi/FOIRequest/index.cfm 1
