Note: Under certain circumstances, you may be entitled to receive more information under the Privacy Act of 1974 than under the FOIA. Privacy Act requests can be made only by U.S. citizens or aliens lawfully admitted for permanent U.S. residence who are seeking information about themselves in a system of records maintained under their names or other personal identifiers. Even if a request is being made under both the FOIA and the Privacy Act, whenever it is appropriate to do so. Thus, requesters receive the maximum amount of information available to them by law.
