How to submit a request

To assist with the search and processing of records, your FOIA request should include: Your contact information (full name, email and mailing address, and telephone number). Please DO NOT include any sensitive personal identifying information, such as dates of birth or social security numbers. A clear and detailed description of the records, including NLRB case names and/or numbers if applicable. A fee amount you are willing to pay for processing your FOIA request. Please do not provide names of third parties. Based on privacy protections under FOIA, a search cannot be conducted for records using individuals' names. For members of the media, a fee waiver request is not necessary, as you will be placed in the Representative of News Media category, which means there is no charge for your request.

Subject: public records

Dear FOIA Officer:

Pursuant to Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. § 552), I request access to and copies of the following public records:

Public records: public records (keywords: public)

Request electronic records in their native format when available.

20 working days under 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(6)(A)(i).

I request a fee waiver under 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(4)(A)(iii) as disclosure of the requested records is in the public interest because it is likely to contribute significantly to public understanding of the operations or activities of government and is not primarily in my commercial interest.

This is a Freedom of Information Act request pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 552.

If any portion is withheld, please identify the specific statutory basis for withholding and release all reasonably segregable non-exempt portions. If records can be produced on a rolling basis, please do so.

Thank you.

Guidance: Track deadlines carefully and ask for a fee waiver when disclosure is in the public interest.
