Under FOIA, any person has a right to a copy of certain records possessed by the executive offices, agencies, corporations, administrations, commissions, boards and services. However, some records (sensitive, personal, commercial and governmental) are protected from disclosure.
The Electronic Reading Room contains copies of many records available under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), such as Final Opinions and Orders, Policy Statements, Staff Manuals and Instructions, and Frequently Requested Records.
