9.8—How to make an appeal under the Freedom of Information Act.

(a) If you are not satisfied with the decision of the Agency Records Officer, you may require the Commission to reconsider that decision. This is called “making an appeal.”
(b) To make an appeal, you must:
(1) Write to the Panama Canal Commission, Director, Office of Executive Administration, Unit 2300, APO AA 34011-2300 (or Balboa, Republic of Panama); and
(2) State in your letter that you are making an appeal under the Freedom of Information Act, and clearly mark the envelope “Freedom of Information Act Appeal”; and
(3) Mail or deliver the letter of appeal within ten working days after you receive the letter from the Agency Records Officer.
(c) Although it is not required, it may be helpful if you clearly indicate in your appeal the reasons why you disagree with the decision on your request and your reasons for wanting the records.
