      (FEDERAL GRAIN INSPECTION SERVICE), DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
 
PART 800--GENERAL REGULATIONS--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 800.8  Public information.

    (a) General. This section is issued in accordance with Secs. 1.1 
through 1.23 of the regulations of the Secretary of Agriculture in part 
1, subpart A, of subtitle A of title 7 (7 CFR 1.1 through 1.23), and 
appendix A thereto, implementing the Freedom of Information Act (5 
U.S.C. 552). The Secretary's regulations, as implemented by this 
section, govern the availability of records of the Service to the 
public.
    (b) Public inspection and copying. Materials maintained by the 
Service, including those described in 7 CFR 1.5, will be made available, 
upon a request which has not been denied, for public inspection and 
copying at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Grain Inspection, Packers 
and Stockyards Administration, at 14th Street and Independence Avenue, 
SW., Washington, D.C. 20250. The public may request access to these 
materials during regular working hours, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., est, 
Monday through Friday except for holidays.
    (c) Indexes. FGIS shall maintain an index of all material required 
to be made available in 7 CFR 1.5. Copies of these indexes will be 
maintained at the location given in paragraph (b) of this section. 
Notice is hereby given that quarterly publication of these indexes is 
unnecessary and impracticable, because the material is voluminous and 
does not change often enough to justify the expense of quarterly 
publication. However, upon specific request, copies of any index will be 
provided at a cost not to exceed the direct cost of duplication.
    (d) Requests for records. Requests for records under 5 U.S.C. 
552(a)(3) shall be made in accordance with 7 CFR 1.6 and shall be 
addressed as follows: Office of the Administrator, Grain Inspection, 
Packers and Stockyards Administration; FOIA Request, U.S. Department of 
Agriculture, P.O. Box 96454, Washington, D.C. 20090-6454.
    (e) Appeals. Any person whose request under paragraph (d) of this 
section, is denied shall have the right to appeal such denial in 
accordance with 7 CFR 1.13. Appeals shall be addressed to the 
Administrator, Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration, 
FOIA Appeal, P.O. Box 96454, Washington, D.C. 20090-6454.
