US Customs New Freedom of Information Act Portal – What Do You Want to Know?

I want answers.  US Customs apparently wants to give them to me too, as it sent me a lovely email to register as a user of its new Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) portal called “FOIA Online.”

In terms of registration I’d give it a thumbs up for “User Experience” as it was very simple to do and it’s quite nice looking as well.  While I haven’t experienced the benefits first hand, U.S. Customs touts them as, and I quote:

* You will immediately receive a unique FOIA tracking number and acknowledgment that your FOIA request was received by CBP.

* You will be able to track your FOIA request any day/any time through your FOIAonline account.

* You will receive an email to retrieve responsive records or document via your FOIAonline account, when records or documents become available.

* You can view all of your historical FOIA requests via the “dashboard” in your FOIAonline account.

WOW!

Sound good to you?

Want to give it a try? 

Head over to FOIAonline and check it out for yourself.
