 Most USDA TARGET Center Alt Format Requests are guaranteed
within five business days. Many requests can be turned around
within one day.
For faster turnaround times:
- Be able to provide a text-only file
- Be sure to have access to the original document
- Keep page numbers and copies requested to a minimum
The following chart details turnaround
times for all Alt Format Requests. Turnaround times are guaranteed
unless otherwise noted and begin on the first business day
after TARGET receives a printed or digital copy of the document:

*Alt format requests marked with N/A are evaluated on
a case-by-case basis by TARGET staff. If these requests
are beyond the capability of the TARGET Center or take
longer than the required turnaround time, TARGET will provide
the customer with a list of alt format resources.
