Record type, date range, and parties. Not the story you want.
Check the agency's own rules — it varies widely.

If yes, the request includes a public-interest paragraph.

2 · The receipt
readyCounting the clock…
What this is not. This drafts a request from what you enter and counts the deadline you specify. It is not legal advice, response windows and exemption rules differ by jurisdiction, and the dates assume a standard working week — confirm the actual rules with the agency or your local oversight body.
