Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Requests
Welcome to the Federal Lands Highway Program, of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Freedom of Information Act web page. The following information is intended to familiarize you with the specific procedures for making a request for records controlled by Federal Lands Highway.
The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), Title 5 of the United States Code, section 552, generally provides that any person has the right to request access to federal agency records of information. All agencies of the U.S. Government are required to disclose records upon receiving a written request, except those records that are protected from disclosure pursuant to nine exemptions and three exclusions of the FOIA. The FOIA applies only to federal agencies and does not create a right of access to records held by Congress, the courts, or by state or local government agencies. Any requests for state or local government records should be directed to the appropriate state or local government agency.
