Sample FOIA Request

To: IHS FOIA Staff/or Designate Area FOIA Office

Under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), I would like to request a copy of [insert the name of the document or information that you are seeking and please be specific].

NOTE: If you are not sure whether or not the information can be found at the Area level or at the HQ level, that's ok. We can forward this to the Area FOIA Coordinators in that particular Area and coordinate the document retrieval from that Area office.

Thank you!
