Earlier I had asked a question regarding the Freedom of Information Act that I essentially already knew the answer to. (Since I was referring to a state agency, in that case, my states Department of Environmental Management.)
However, a portion of the information I am interested in involves transactions of specimen (and monies) between my state and the US Fish and Wildlife Service. Although I wouldn’t be able to obtain all of the information I’d like, it would still be interesting.
Would the FOIA extend to the US Fish and Wildlife Service?

First…the US FOIA does not apply to state agencies, however, almost all states have some state version of the US FOIA that applies to their state. The US Fish and Wildlife Service would fall under federal FOIA standards and as such you can request information from them.
