instructions on the SF180 to make sure you are sending your Request to the proper facility. Should there be any problems, if you send or fax your Request to NPRC, NPRC will respond to you in writing by U.S. Mail. If you send your Request to them by mistake, they may forward your request to the proper agency, OR respond to you with the address of the proper agency to which you should send your Request. This backand-forth correspondence may add days or weeks to the process
