Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)
The purpose of these pages is to provide members of the general public with basic information on how to obtain access to records maintained in the files of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.
The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), 5 USC 552.
The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), 5 USC 552, serves as the vehicle to obtain federal agency records, unless the records (or any portion thereof) are protected from disclosure by one of the FOIA's nine exemptions or by one of its three special law enforcement record exclusions. The OCC's disclosure regulation is located at 12 CFR 4. As a bureau of the United States Department of the Treasury, the OCC also complies with Treasury regulations. For further information about the Department of the Treasury's disclosure requirements, visit the Department of the Treasury FOIA site.
