RECORDS ABOUT YOURSELF
Consider submitting a Privacy Act request rather than a FOIA request if you believe that the records you want are filed under your name, Social Security Number (SSN), or other personal identifier. Privacy Act requesters do not pay search fees but do pay 7 cents per page released. Official Personnel Folder (OPF) are the most frequently requested Privacy Act Files. For detailed information on the Privacy Act (PA), 5 U.S.C. 552a, see the Department of Justice Text on the Privacy Act. To submit a Privacy Act request for records maintained by the International Trade Administration, choose one of the following methods : Mail--Mark the outside of the envelope, "Privacy Act Request" and mail to the following address:
Fax--Fax all requests to Linda Bell , Acting FOIA Officer at (202) 482-1584 or E-mail--Forward all requests via e-mail to Linda_Bell@ita.doc.gov |
