Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)
Public Reading Facilities/Electronic Reading Facilities
The Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) and Electronic FOIA (E-FOIA) require that various
specific types of records, as well as various
other records, be maintained in public reading facilities.
Before you submit
a FOIA request, we recommend you contact or visit the appropriate public
reading facility to determine if the
records you are seeking have already been released. The U.S. Department
of Energy (DOE), as well as other
related DOE sites, have established home pages on the Internet with
links to other web sites. If you determine a
specific facility might have records in which you are interested,
requests for those records can be made directly to
the public reading rooms identified
below. Copying of records located in the public reading rooms must be made by
the staff of those facilities.
The DOE Carlsbad
Field Office’s primary public reading facility is located at the
Carlsbad Field
Office and is open between the hours
of 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. The address and
point-of-contact are:
