The office receiving your request will forward it to the correct office. The correct office will consider your request to be complete only when you:
- (1) Describe the records sought in enough detail for an Agency employee to locate the records with a reasonable amount of effort;
- (2) Agree to pay applicable fees pursuant to § 102.6, unless you seek a waiver of fees; and
- (3) Make an advance payment if either the correct office estimates the fees will exceed $250 or you owe for past FOIA fees. If you owe past due FOIA fees, you must pay the estimated amount, plus any past due charges and interest.
- (b) If you make a request on behalf of another person for information pertaining to that person, your request must include an authorization signed by the latter, allowing SBA to release such information to you.
- (c) To make a Privacy Act request for records about yourself, you must follow the procedures detailed in § 102.34(b) of subpart B.
