Guide for Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Requesters
An individual may submit a FOIA request to NASA by mail, fax, electronic
mail, or in person, at the following addresses:
-
- NASA Headquarters
-
- 300 E Street, SW
-
- Room 9R35
-
- Washington, DC 20546
-
- (202) 358-2265 & (202) 358-0845 Voice
(202) 358-4331 Fax
-
- e-mail: foia@hq.nasa.gov
The request must be in writing. No telephone requests will be accepted.
If you do not know the exact title of the document you are seeking, you
should provide a reasonable description of the documents. The more information
that you can provide about the document, such as its author or date, the
more expeditiously your request will be processed. Your request will be
logged and a tracking number assigned to it. The tracking number assigned
is of great importance to you as a requester because, in the event you would
like to check the status of your request, the number enables us to locate
where in the process your request is.
The Headquarters FOIA Homepage includes a link to each NASA Center Homepage,
as well as a link to the NASA FOIA Contacts List.
The Contacts List has the telephone and fax numbers, and the appropriate
contract number assigned to that Center [numerical prefix for contracts
generated by a particular Center, i.e. "NAS5" indicates that the contract
was generated by GSFC.]
You should submit your request to the FOIA Office at the NASA Center
that authored the documents. If you do not know which Center to contact,
then you may submit a request to NASA Headquarters and we will attempt
to identify the responsible Center and forward your request. For all Office
of Inspector General (OIG) documents, submit a request directly to the
OIG FOIA Office at NASA Headquarters, Code W, or e-mail foiaoig@hq.nasa.gov.
A link is also included to the NASA FOIA Regulations,
"Availability of Agency Records to Members of the Public" which will provide
you with more detailed information concerning the processing of your FOIA
request.
