Welcome to Rural Development’s (RD) Electronic Freedom of Information Act (eFOIA) Reading Room. Rural Development’s FOIA Reading Room contains records from our agency that have been frequently requested through FOIA/Privacy Act requests and proactively disclosed due to public interest. Please contact RD.FOIA@usda.gov for questions about Rural Development’s FOIA Program.
The Electronic FOIA Amendments (E-FOIA) signed into law in 1996 added a requirement that agencies establish electronic reading rooms. E-FOIA makes it possible for individuals to have electronic access to certain USDA information without making a formal FOIA request.
Rural Development maintains an electronic reading room only. Visit Ask USDA to frequently asked questions and to submit new questions regarding USDA programs.
