OSTP’s FOIA regulations allow the agency to recover part of the costs associated with processing FOIA requests. Fee amounts vary based on a number of factors including the complexity of the request and the number of responsive documents. A request that results in no responsive documents may nonetheless incur a fee.

See the OSTP FOIA Handbook for more information about submitting a FOIA request, response timing, fee structures and waivers.
