Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)

The FOIA, 5 U.S.C. 552, provides individuals with a right to access to records in the possession of the Federal government. The government may withhold information pursuant to the nine exemptions and three exclusions contained in the Act.

If you have questions regarding FOIA requests pending with NIAAA or questions specific to NIAAA records, please contact Trevor Peterson, NIAAA FOIA Coordinator, by phone (301-496-4334) or email (NIAAAFOIA@mail.nih.gov).
