A request for a record of the Board must be made in writing and shall be directed to the General Counsel.
A written request may be submitted on-line through the D.C. FOIA Public Access Portal on the Board's website or mailed, faxed, or e-mailed to the General Counsel. The outside of the envelope or the subject line of the fax or e-mail shall state: "Freedom of Information Act Request" or "FOIA Request". In addition, a request shall include a daytime telephone number, e-mail address, or mailing address for the requester.
A request shall reasonably describe the desired record. Where possible, specific information requesting dates, files, titles, file designation or other specific information, shall be supplied.
Where the information supplied by the requester is not sufficient to permit the identification and location of the record by the Board without an unreasonable amount of effort, the requester shall be contacted and asked to supply the necessary information. Every reasonable effort shall be made by the Board to assist in the identification and location of requested records.
