The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) instructs individuals to submit Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests electronically via the FOIA.gov website, ensuring timely receipt and processing.
According to the DOE, their FOIA webpage provides helpful resources, including frequently asked questions, FOIA personnel contacts, and the DOE FOIA Handbook to guide requesters through the process.
Some documents may be publicly available, potentially addressing a requester’s inquiry without requiring a formal request. The DOE also details information about Neither Confirm Nor Deny (NCND) or Glomar responses, which apply to FOIA requests where the DOE declines to confirm or deny the existence of records.
For thorough guidance on submitting FOIA requests and learning about procedures, the FOIA.gov website serves as the central resource.
