FACA Requests
Filing a FACA Request
To request information concerning activities of the Commission State Advisory Committees you should make a request pursuant to the Federal Advisory Committee Act.
Section 10(b) of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), as amended, (Public Law 92-463, 5 U.S.C. App.) provides that the records, reports, transcripts, minutes, appendixes, working papers, drafts, studies, agenda, or other documents which were made available to or prepared for or by each advisory committee shall be available for public inspection and copying at a single location in the offices of the advisory committee or the agency to which the advisory committee reports until the advisory committee ceases to exist. Records covered by the exemptions set forth in section 552(b) of FOIA may generally be withheld. However, it should be noted that FOIA Exemption 5 cannot be used to withhold documents reflecting an advisory committee's internal deliberations.
To obtain the records of the Commission State Advisory Committees contact the Commission Regional Offices.
