How to Make a FOIA Request
How do I make a FOIA request to NCUA?
You must make your request in writing. If you are
seeking records about an Office of Inspector General
(OIG) audit or internal NCUA investigation, send
your request to the OIG. If you are seeking any
other NCUA records, such as those concerning a
credit union, send your request to the Office
of General
Counsel (OGC). If you are not sure which office
might have the records you are seeking, you can
call or write us to ask, or just send your request
to OGC and you will be notified if it is transferred
for processing. If you have any other questions
about submitting a request, consult the Handbook
for Obtaining Information from NCUA.
Where do I send a FOIA request?
You can send your request to the attention of
either the OGC or the OIG, at 1775 Duke Street,
Alexandria,
VA, 22314. If you prefer to send your
request by facsimile, for OGC, send it to 703-
518-6569,
or for OIG send it to 703- 518-6349. You may
also send your request via e-mail to FOIA@ncua.gov.
How long will it take to get the records I requested?
Generally, we will respond to your request within
20 working days of the date it is received
in the appropriate office for processing. Many
times, we
are able to respond more quickly. If your
request involves a large volume of records, or
records dispersed among several offices, we may
require
additional
time to respond.
How much will it cost?
The FOIA permits agencies to recover some
of the costs of processing a FOIA request
by charging
the FOIA
requester for employee time spent searching
for
records and reviewing them for release.
Agencies may also
charge for duplication. See the NCUA
FOIA fee schedule for more information.
