Sec. 5.5  Request for records.

    (a) A request to inspect or copy those public records described in 
11 CFR 5.4(a) may be made in person or by mail. The Public Disclosure 
Division is open Monday through Friday between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 
p.m. and is located on the first floor, 999 E Street, NW., Washington, 
DC 20463.
    (b) Each request shall describe the records sought with sufficient 
specificity with respect to names, dates and subject matter to permit 
the records to be located with a reasonable amount of effort. A 
requester will be promptly advised if the requested records cannot be 
located on the basis of the description given and that further 
identifying information must be provided before the request can be 
satisfied.
    (c) Requests for copies of records not available through the Public 
Disclosure Division shall be addressed to the FOIA Officer, Federal 
Election Commission, 999 E Street, NW., Washington, DC 20463. Requests 
for Commission records not described in 11 CFR 5.4(a) shall be treated 
as requests made pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 
552) and shall be governed by 11 CFR part 4. In the event that the 
Public Disclosure Division receives a written request for access to 
materials not described in 11 CFR 5.4(a), it shall promptly forward such 
request to the Commission FOIA Officer for processing in accordance with 
the provisions of part 4 of this chapter.
