Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)

The Freedom of Information Act, commonly known as the FOIA, (5 U.S.C. § 552), was enacted by Congress in 1966 to give the American public greater access to the Federal Government's records. Congress amended the FOIA statute several times since then. Most recently, the Electronic Freedom of Information Act Amendments of 1996 (E-FOIA) expanded the scope of the FOIA to encompass electronic records and require the creation of "electronic reading rooms" to make records more easily and widely available to the public.

This site is for Shasta-Trinity National Forest FOIA requests only. For records pertaining to other forests, departments, regions or the Washington Office, please visit the USFS Freedom of Information Act Homepage to submit a FOIA or for more information.
