Freedom of Information Act
The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), is a federal statute that allows any person
to obtain records of a federal agency. The agency may only withhold records that
are exempt from disclosure by FOIA. To get more information on the eight FOIA exemptions
that NCUA may claim to protect information in its records, consult the
FOIA Exemptions. If you believe that records were withheld from you illegally,
you can enforce your FOIA rights by filing an appeal with the agency and ultimately
by filing a lawsuit in federal district court.
