USDA FOIA Points of Contact
USDA is organized into a number of agencies and offices. Within USDA, each agency processes its own records. Sending your request to the responsible agency or office will allow us to provide the quickest possible response.
The functions of each agency are also summarized in the Agency Mission
Area.
In most cases, you should send your FOIA request to an agency's
central FOIA office. For records held by a field office of the agency,
you must write directly to that office.
If you believe that USDA does maintain the records you are seeking, but are uncertain about which agency has the records, you may send your request to the USDA FOIA Officer at USDAFOIA@ocio.usda.gov.
Personnel in that division will then forward your request to the USDA agency that they believe is most likely to maintain the records you are seeking.
The Public Access Link (PAL) will be unavailable from 9:00 p.m. EDT Friday, September 4 through 6:00 p.m. EDT Sunday, September 6 due to scheduled maintenance.
