So, when an office or agency responds to your request, its response will encompass those records that are subject to the FOIA. Records falling within an exclusion are not subject to the requirements of the FOIA. The third exclusion is limited to the Federal Bureau of Investigation and protects the existence of foreign intelligence or counterintelligence, or international terrorism records when the existence of such records is classified. If you chose to e-mail or fax your request, please.

The second exclusion is limited to criminal law enforcement agencies and protects the existence of informant records when the informant’s status has not been officially confirmed. You can make a FOIA Request either online through the FOIA Request Form, by e-mail, by fax, or by mail. The provisions protecting those records are known as “exclusions.” The first exclusion protects the existence of an ongoing criminal law enforcement investigation when the subject of the investigation is unaware that it is pending and disclosure could reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement proceedings.
