The 1966 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) permits any person to request access to federal agency records or information. Federal agencies are required to disclose records upon receipt of a written request, except for records that are protected from disclosure by nine exemptions or three exclusions in the Act.

All FOIA requests for the Chicago FEB should be submitted to the GSA Region 5 FOIA Coordinator at Mike.Mitchell@gsa.gov. The telephone number for this office is (312) 385-3016.
