/us/cfr/t36/s§ 1120.25·A research copy — for the controlling text, always check the official state or federal source. Not legal advice.
A request must be in writing, must reasonably describe the records sought in a way that will permit their identification and location, and must be addressed to the address set forth in § 1120.23, but otherwise need not be in any particular form. Each request under the Freedom of Information Act should be clearly and prominently identified by a legend on the first page, such as "Freedom of Information Act Request." The envelope in which the request is sent should be prominently marked with the letters "FOIA.
" It is helpful, but not necessary, for the requestor to include his or her phone number and the reason for the request. A request may state the maximum amount of fees which the requester is willing to pay. Under § 1120.33(d), the failure to state willingness to pay fees as high as are anticipated by the A will delay running of the time limit and delay processing of the request, if the responsible official anticipates that the fees chargeable may exceed \$250.00. \[45 FR 80976, Dec. 8, 1980, as amended at 52 FR 43195, Nov. 10, 1987\]
