Not necessarily. A great deal of agency information is available without a FOIA request on the Commission’s website at www.fmc.gov. For a description of documents available without a FOIA request, see the Commission’s regulations at 46 CFR §§ 503.21-24. If you are uncertain whether you need to file a FOIA request to receive information, call the FOIA Requester Hotline at 202-523-5707 and our staff will assist you.
