# 2105.7 Can you ask for records to be disclosed in a particular form or format?

(a) Generally, you may choose the form or format of disclosure for records requested. The Agency must provide the records in the requested form or format if the Agency can readily reproduce the record in that form or format.

(b) The Agency may charge you the direct costs involved in converting records to the requested format if the Agency does not normally maintain the records in that format (*see* § 2105.42).
