a. Local A/OPCs will respond to FOIA requests made at the installation, base, or activity level, from the appropriate FOIA offices, for the organizational addresses and telephone numbers of CHs. FOIA requests will only be released as required by the Freedom of Information Act, 5 USC 552, and 29 Jun 2006 DoD Memorandum “FOIA Policy on Release of Credit Card Data.”

b. In response to FOIA requests submitted by the public for transaction-related GPC data, only the following specific data is authorized for release:

1) Merchant Category Code

2) Transaction amount

3) Merchant name

4) Merchant city, state, ZIP code, and phone number

5) Transaction date

c. When the servicing bank is needed to provide transaction data to comply with FOIA requests from the public, the servicing bank charges a $350 fee to the party requesting the data to be paid prior to the search. In instances where search results in no data or limited data, the servicing bank does not refund the charge, since they have performed the data search and provided the results. If the party desires another search, a new fee of $350 is required.
