FOIA Reading Room

The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) provides the public access to records maintained by the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board (DNFSB).  An individual can submit a FOIA request for records held or believed to be held by the DNFSB.  The FOIA requires federal agencies to provide records unless exempt from disclosure as defined in the Act.  Written requests can be submitted by mail or by e-mail.

We recommend that you submit all FOIA-related communications by e-mail. Requests can be sent to us directly at FOIA@dnfsb.gov or through the National FOIA Portal at https://www.foia.gov. Send appeals and all general FOIA-related correspondence to us at FOIA@dnfsb.gov. If you have questions about a specific FOIA request or about the DNFSB’s FOIA program in general, contact our FOIA Public Liaison.

For additional information, please refer to the DNFSB FOIA Reference Guide below.
