When making requests under the FOIA, FPIF has developed a Freedom of Information Act Form to ensure an easy and transparent way for the public to submit their requests. While we recommend the use of this form, it is not required.

In accordance with the Act, there is no fee for records that are sent electronically. The first 50 pages of black-and-white letter- or legal-sized paper copies are provided free of charge; after that, we charge $0.15 per page. FPIF reserves the right to charge for the reproduction of color copies, copies that are not letter- or legal-sized, and shipping expenses.
