What is a reasonable description of records?
Generally, requests for records must describe the records in reasonably sufficient detail to enable an employee familiar with the subject to locate the records. The description should include the name, subject matter, date or timeframe, location of the records, the Treasury unit maintaining the records if known, along with any other information which would help an employee clearly identify the requested records. If the scope is too broad, you may incur large fees for search, review and duplication. If you are asked to modify your request to narrow its scope, you must resubmit it in writing.
