FOIA Requester's Guide
Any individual may submit a FOIA request for records affiliated with
NASA Langley Research Center by mail, fax, email, or in person, at
the following address:
NASA Langley Research Center
Attn: Freedom of Information Act Office
17 Langley Blvd.
Mail Stop 412
Hampton, VA 23681
(757) 864-2497 Voice
(757) 864-6477 Fax
LARC-DL-foia@mail.nasa.gov
This address is for requesting NASA Langley Research Center records only.
If you are seeking documents affiliated with other NASA Centers, you should
submit your request to the FOIA Office at the NASA Center that authored the
documents or the Inspector General's FOIA Office at NASA Headquarters for all
Inspector General documents. If you do not know which NASA Center to
contact, then you may submit it to NASA Headquarters. Headquarters will
attempt to identify the responsible Center and forward your request.
The request must be in writing. No telephone requests will be accepted. If
you do not know the exact title of the document you are seeking, you should
provide a reasonable description of the documents. The more information that you
can provide about the document, such as its author or date, the more
expeditiously your request will be processed. Your request will be logged and a
tracking number assigned to it. The tracking number assigned is of great
importance to you as a requester because, in the event you would like to check
the status of your request, the number enables us to locate where in the process
your request is.
The
NASA FOIA Contacts List
includes the names of all FOIA personnel, their address,
telephone & fax numbers by Center and the appropriate contract number
assigned to that Center (i.e., "NAS1" indicates that the contract was
generated by Langley Research Center). The NASA FOIA regulations,
Availability of Agency Records to Members of the Public
provides more detailed information concerning the processing of FOIA request.
In addition, the
Headquarters FOIA Homepage,
each NASA Center Homepage, the
Government Interactive Locator System (GILS)
and the
NODIS Directives Library
will provide you with the capability of locating information
throughout the agency that is available to the public without going through the
FOIA.
