                        ON HISTORIC PRESERVATION
 
PART 810--FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT REGULATIONS--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 810.2  Procedure for requesting information.

    (a) Requests for information or records not available through 
informal channels shall be directed to the Administrative Officer, 
Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, 1522 K Street NW., 
Washington, DC 20005. All such requests should be clearly marked 
``FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST'' in order to ensure timely processing. 
Requests that are not so marked will be honored, but will be deemed not 
to have been received by the Council, for purposes of computing the 
response time, until the date on which they are identified by a member 
of the Council staff as being a request pursuant to the Freedom of 
Information Act.
    (b) Requests should describe the records sought in sufficient detail 
to allow Council staff to locate them with a reasonable amount of 
effort. Thus, where possible, specific information, including dates, 
geographic location of cases, and parties involved, should be supplied.
    (c) A request for all records falling within a reasonably specific 
category shall be regarded as conforming to the statutory requirement 
that records be reasonably described if the records can be identified by 
any process that is not unreasonably burdensome or disruptive of Council 
operations.
    (d) If a request is denied on the ground that it does not reasonably 
describe the records sought, the denial shall specify the reasons why 
the request was denied and shall extend to the requester an opportunity 
to confer with Council staff in order to reformulate the request in 
sufficient detail to allow the records to be produced.
