Appeals

Freedom of Information Act

When we deny records or a fee waiver, you may file an appeal in writing to:

USPS Office of Inspector General
1735 N. Lynn Street
Arlington, VA 22209-2020

Attention: Gladis Griffith, Appeals Officer

An appeal should include a copy of the initial request, a copy of the letter denying the request, and a statement explaining why you disagree with our decision. You should write "Freedom of Information Act Appeal" on the front of the envelope and on the first page of the appeal letter.
