PUBLIC READING FACILITIES

The FOIA and E-FOIA require that specific types of records as well as various other records be maintained in public reading facilities.

Before you submit a FOIA request, we recommend you contact or visit the appropriate public reading facility to determine if the records you are seeking have already been released. The DOE, as well as other DOE sites, has established a home page on the Internet with links to other Web Sites. If you determine a specific facility might have records in which you are interested, requests for those records can be made directly to the individual public reading facilities as identified below. Copying of records located in the public reading facilities must be made with the staff of those facilities.

The NNSA Service Center public reading room is located at the University of New Mexico, Government Information Department, Zimmerman Library, Albuquerque, NM, 87131-0001, which is open between the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., Monday through Thursday; 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Friday, and 12:00 Noon to 4:00 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. The point-of-contact is Dan Barkley at the number listed below.  Please note that summer hours may vary.

Public reading facilities are also established at the various NNSA sites.   Please note that due to current national security concerns, efforts are underway to look at the nature of the documents that are available to the public.  As a result of this effort and in the future, some documents may no longer be available to the public.  The NNSA Service Center and some Site offices and public reading facilities are listed below:
