What kind of records do I need to keep? Does it make a difference which organization in MSHA I work for?

FOIA procedures apply to everyone who handles FOIA requests in MSHA. You must always keep a hard copy of the original FOIA request and any amendments to that request.  Additionally, you should maintain the following information in your FOIA file:

• Copies of all documents that are withheld in full;
• Sanitized and unsanitized copies of documents that are being withheld in part; and
• Copies of documents that are being released in full.
