Sec. 701.2  Navy FOIA website/FOIA handbook.

    (a) The Navy FOIA website (http://www.ogc.secnav.hq.navy. mil/foia/
index.html) is an excellent resource for requesters and FOIA 
coordinators. It provides connectivity to the Navy's official website, 
to other FOIA and non/FOIA websites, and to the Navy's electronic 
reading rooms.
    (b) FOIA requesters are encouraged to visit the Navy FOIA website 
prior to filing a request. It features a FOIA Handbook which provides: 
guidance on how and where to submit requests; what's releasable/what's 
not; addresses for frequently requested information; time limits and 
addresses for filing appeals, etc. FOIA requesters may also use the 
electronic FOIA request form on the website to seek access to records 
originated by the Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV) or the Chief of Naval 
Operations (CNO).
