Routes marked unconfirmed are inferred from the agency’s domain pattern in the source dataset and have not been proven by a delivered letter. Aletheca confirms an endpoint before the first request goes to it and records the confirmation as a public event — a request sent to a plausible-looking address that bounces silently is worse than no request at all.

What it holds

• correspondence
• reports
• investigations
• contracts
• data

Record classes this kind of body normally keeps. Useful for drafting a request a records officer can act on without guessing — a request describing records the agency does not hold is refused as no-records, which costs a filing fee and teaches nobody anything.

Filing tips

• Be specific on date range/custodians
• Ask for Vaughn index
• Request rolling release
• Written request signed by or for the requester, full name, mailing address, telephone, email, records/dates/subject and requested format. State fee willingness of at least $25 or request a waiver. Without an express or implied date restriction, the agency treats a general request as covering the preceding twelve months. Amendments must be written. Source: https://www.exim.gov/about/foia

Components process their own requests. Filing with the department when the records sit in a component is the commonest cause of a referral, and a referral costs months.
