Although no information was withheld, you still have the right to appeal the adequacy of search by the program office(s). You may appeal by writing to the Administrator, Food and Nutrition Service at 3101 Park Center Drive, Alexandria, VA 22302 or by email to FOIA@fns.usda.gov<mailto:FOIA@fns.usda.gov> within 90 calendar days from the date of this letter. The phrase "FOIA APPEAL" should be placed in capital letters on the front of the envelope or in the subject of the email containing the appeal.
For dispute resolution services, you may contact the Office of Government Information Services (OGIS).
