                    TITLE 43--PUBLIC LANDS: INTERIOR
 
PART 2--RECORDS AND TESTIMONY; FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT--Table of Contents
 
             Subpart C--Requests for Records under the FOIA
 
Sec. 2.11  Why is it important to send my request to the right office?

    The bureau and office FOIA Contacts listed in Appendix A to this 
part have primary responsibility for responding to FOIA requests. 
Failure to send your request to the FOIA Contact at the appropriate 
bureau office may delay processing, because the time limit for the 
bureau to respond will not begin to run until a request complying with 
Secs. 2.8 and 2.10 is received by the bureau office where the records 
are maintained. The processing of your request may be delayed if you 
send it to the Secretary of the Interior (or other high-level 
officials), the Office of Public Affairs/Communications, the DOI FOIA 
Officer, or the Department/bureau's webmaster.
