Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Freedom of Information Act requires federal agencies to respond to document requests within 10 days. However, the other options are not entirely correct. Option A only pertains to geological information concerning wells, while the FOIA covers a broader range of documents. Option C is incorrect, as requesters may be required to pay certain fees for locating and copying records. Option D is incorrect because not all documents are available for public inspection, as some may be exempted from disclosure under one of the nine exemptions in the Act. Finally, option E is incorrect, as there are actually nine exemptions to the Act, not five.
