Sec. 5.4  Availability of records.



    (a) FEMA records are available to the greatest extent possible in 

keeping with the spirit and intent of FOIA and will be furnished 

promptly to any member of the public upon request addressed to the 

office designated in Sec. 5.26. The person making the request need not 

have a particular interest in the subject matter, nor must he provide 

justification for the request.

    (b) The requirement of 5 U.S.C. 552 that records be available to the 

public refers only to records in being at the time the request for them 

is made. FOIA imposes no obligation to compile a record in response to a 

request.
