How to file a Privacy Act Request

Fees

The CIA Charges No Fees for Processing PA Requests

Agency Policy
Although the PA authorizes federal agencies to collect fees for record services--specifically for searches and reproduction--as a matter of administrative discretion, the CIA does not assess fees for either searches or reproduction when processing PA requests. In addition, it processes requests under the authority of both the Privacy Act and the Freedom of Information Act. The Agency processes requests under both Acts in order to ensure the maximum possible disclosure for the requester.
