Regardless of the method employed for requesting records, if records are being requested under the provision of the Freedom of Information Act, the Privacy Act, or due to congressional interest, make a notation to that effect in the "Remarks" section of the Optional Form-11 to ensure proper handling.
Agencies participating in Stratified Report Invoicing must include a caret (^) followed by a valid, legible two digit charge code encircled on the top right front of every request. Agencies who use CIPS can request to have their charge code as part of their shipping address.
