Federal Information Center

When an individual is searching for information from the federal government, the task of finding the appropriate office can be overwhelming. The General Services Administration has set up a clearinghouse for such needs. The Federal Information Center is a telephone service that is staffed with individuals who can direct a caller to the appropriate federal agency.
 
The attractive feature of this service is the availability of regional offices serving the larger metropolitan areas of over 35 states. The following numbers all connect the caller to the same office, but they also offer recorded information about local services If there is no number for a certain location an individual can call the main FIC center at (301) 722-9000.
