May I request records in a specific format?

Yes, but the records may not be available in the requested format. If you request records that exist in an electronic format, the FOIA requires agencies in almost all cases to provide these records to you in that same format, if that is what you prefer. However, if you request records that exist only in paper form, and you would like them in an electronic format, the agency is obligated to provide the records in electronic format only if it can do so with a reasonable amount of effort.
