Records About Yourself

- are about you, and
- are filed and can be retrieved by your name or a personal identifier (such as your Social Security number).
You can also ask the Council to correct records that are inaccurate, incomplete, untimely, or irrelevant.
In some cases, the Privacy Act may not allow release of your personal records. foiarequest@restorethegulf.gov
Other Council Records
Under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), you may make a written request for any Council records.
The Council is required to provide records requested in writing by any person or organization, unless the records are covered by one of nine exemptions or three special law enforcement record exclusions.
A FOIA request can be made for any agency record that is not publicly available. Describe as best as possible the records you are requesting. In your description include information such as the date and place the records were created, the file descriptions, subject matter, persons involved, and other pertinent details that will help identify the records.
